Zhara's party

Saturday was Zhara's birthday party. The morning started out with us giving Zhara a bike for her birthday. It is a pink barbie bike & she spent some time with Daddy learning how to ride it & then spent the next hour with Grandpa. She took him all the way to the park which is about a mile round trip. We had a pool party for her with a BBQ & some swimming. She had 6 girls come to her "all girl" party. She loved her Little Mermaid cake that Alyssa picked out for her & enjoyed all the great presents that her friends gave her. Later that night we went to a birthday party for one of the girls that came to our party (their birthdays are 3 days apart). It was a fun, but really long day.
Alyssa kept the secret of Zhara's bike & was so excited for her to finally have it

This was a fun moment of being a parent, watching David teach Zhara to ride
Grandma was the "pool watcher" we didn't want any drownings at our party!

David was the cook...the cook always has to taste the food first!

The girls

David is always a good sport & was pulling 6 girls on the noodle, the only one not joining in the fun....Zhara
