Maverick and Gwendolynn's Pirate Birthday Party!

Lili and Manuel, along with Ashley and Jason, recently hosted Maverick and Gwendolynn's Pirate Birthday Party! It was a blast! The decorations were so perfect and all of the kids really had a lot of fun. And, of course, the food was overflowing and delicious!

Now I have to boast about my girl, Amelie. She LOVES the water but hates to be held in the water, or even sit on a float, which makes things difficult. She's our L'il Miss Independent! Well, Ashley bought a large assortment of floating devices and so Rick put some arm floaties on her. That really did the trick! She was floating at the deep end of the pool all by herself in no time! (Rick was right by her, of course, but like I said, she wants to do everything herself so she didn't want Daddy holding on to her.) Rick even taught her how to kick her legs in order to get to where she's going faster. I couldn't believe it! When did she turn into a little person?!

Enjoy the pictures of the party, and some videos too. Check out the one of Gwen! So cute!
