Tatum is 6!!

Our Tatum is 6!! It's hard to believe that her birthday came and went already. She has talked about this day since she turned 5. Since a birthday is pretty much a national holiday in a kid's world, this is a super big deal! For her party, we had 10 girls including Tatum. It was a "make your own pizza" party and it was fun and yummy. We hired Salamone's Pastabilities and the two ladies came to our house and taught the girls about making their own pizza, eating healthy, and lots of other cooking info.

They started out by putting on aprons and decorating chef hats with stickers, markers, etc.


The lady asked questions about cooking while they were decorating their hats.












She also had a washable marker and would draw on a mustache if you wanted one.







Time to work on the dough.







Time for the sauce.





The pizzas were baked and we ate them. So good. Dave and I even got to make one.
Time for the unwrap the present game. The present has many layers of different wrapping paper on it. When the music stops, the person holding the gift gets to unwrap a layer. There was candy for each girl inside the box which they dove into.


The next game had 10 different presents all wrapped with numbers on the outside. Each child was given a balloon and had to pop it. Inside the balloon was a piece of paper with a number written on it.


Present time!




Finally - cake time.


Hadley spent the night so the girls played after the party with some of Tatum's new presents. Sydney went to my mom's and the plan was to take Tatum and Hadley out for Tatum's birthday dinner. Tatum picked Friendly's. Both of them fell asleep on the way to dinner.


Came home and Hadley couldn't wait to hold one of the chicks. I think she picked every single one of them up - no fear. She was great with them.







Here are some fun videos from the festivities.
