This year we decided that with Emer heading into middle school in the fall, parties would probably be changing. We could no longer invite her whole class b/c that would mean inviting the entire 6th grade! So, to celebrate and embrace this change, we hosted the War to End All Wars...the whole class was invited...the swim team was invited...we set up bunkers...we set up water stations...we told kids to bring their best water guns...then we let them loose!
Who won the war, you might be asking? No one knows. Is there ever truly a winner in war anyway?
Here's the whole crazy gang:
And the cake we got from DQ b/c I didn't have time to make one, sorry Emer!
Now let's backtrack - we went to the lake, as usual on the actual 4th of July and celebrated both America and Emer. This is now officially a family tradition and I'm not sure how many more years, if ever, before it changes. Emer just loves being at the lake on her birthday!
BTW, I did decorate this cookie cake! We spent time fishing, swimming, hanging out on the boat, driving around in the golf cart, and playing. It was a very nice holiday away from home!
Happy 4th of July, Everyone!!!
