The Birthday Girls!
The Happy Heart Blog girls turned 7 this year! I was planning a fun and exciting birthday at the park, but opted for an at home party so that I could actually attend. Putting it together was easy enough with friends and family chipping into help. Normally, I would be the planner and executioner, but I had to give in my authority and let other do the work (it was hard, but I survived!).
Entertainment was harder to choose, because we didn't want a lot of mess and work at home to clean up. Enter Craig, husband and will never admit he loves a good party - goer; to come up with a creative game for the kids to play. He ended up turning our garage into a make-shift archery range. Craig showed each child how to shoot the child's bow and arrow and if they popped a balloon they turned the number inside in for a prize.

Even the youngest got a turn!
Next up was the girls family birthday party. They each got one large present and a few small ones from grandparents. Here you can see them enjoying a good fight over a shared present - the collection of American Girl stories.
Who's winning?
Nini is more than excited that her sister got her dream present!
Secretly, I know she asks for legos so that her and daddy can have one-on-one time!
And now for blowing out the candles!
Thinking of wish...
...getting ready...
...oops blew a raspberry off the cake...
...one more try...
...and away we go!

Happy birthday to your sweet girls. The raspberries atop the cake are so tantilizing.
Wonderful shots of the girls. Even stuck in bed you still managed to create great memories. I don't know how you do it!
This looks like such a fun birthday party! I am so glad you could be a part of it. American girl doll and indian jones? Dream gifts my kids want.
They are beautiful and you did a great job with the party. I can't believe you are going to have four children and only two actual days to celebrate all of their births!:)
I bow to your mothering prowess. Throwing a birthday party from your bedrest throne???
I'm speechless.
