After the recital we went to Aunt Janine's house to celebrate Lauren's 5th birthday. This was her family birthday party. I thought that since the family would be all together already for the recital and Lauren's birthday is at the end of next week it seemed like a good time schedule the party.I thought we could swim and have a cookout. Well, I decided against cooking out since it was about 113 today and no one wants to grill in that kinda heat. But the kids did all go swimming.
After swimming we had Lauren open her gifts.
Lauren loves to make cards and she wanted this little cutter. So Aunt Diane and Uncle Brian (and Sammie) got it for her. She did a bunch of them later that night. 
Lauren and her cousins love to play with the Littlest Pet Shop toys. She has a few but Aunt Janine and Uncle Don and the kids got her a bunch more. Now she will be able to play with Elaine and Blaire a lot more.
She told me she wanted a doll house. I was not sure she really would play with this or that she really wanted it. But she kept asking for it and I really could not figure out what else to get her. So I got her the Fisher Price Loving Family doll house. It is a really cute doll house. We will see if she really plays with it.
Birthday cake time. Lauren still likes princesses so we had a princess cake.
Blowing out the candles. At her last party Sammie helped her blow out the candles. Lauren asked Aunt Diane if she could keep Sammie from doing that this time. I didn't think it bothered her that much but I guess it did. So tonight she got to do it herself.
I am not sure why Uncle Brian thought he needed this big of knife to cut the cake.

Janine's girls had this doll house when they were Lauren's age. Janine could not believe how much they have changed and how nice they are now.

with the new doll house. It was fun day but a very long day and Lauren was very tired at the end of the night.
