So what is worse than having all 4 kids b-days 2 weeks apart? Well, I'll tell you. Having to celebrate them twice. Try as I might I have still ended up doing just that. Bill has been out of town for 3 weeks out of the last 5 and home on the weekends (Thank goodness he was here for our anniversary which is sandwiched in between the birthdays)- BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE DADDY HERE so we celebrate when he is home and then their birthdays have conveniently fallen on a weekday so that's when I throw the friend party.
Princess Maegan's Party
Maegan's birthday was on the 7th of April. We invited a few other princesses over to help celebrate. I thought it would be kind of fun to tell a little about her. 
Notice her beautiful ensemble she is wearing? Well, I practically begged her to wear some other clothes- at least matching ones- since she is the "belle of the ball" after a few tears and "just let me wear what I want", I decided to pick my battles and grant her birthday wish.
Don't you just love the bright pink skirt and the burnt orange shirt! Not to mention the way she had to wear her crown. She is definitely asserting her independence.
Maegan's favorite color is yellow because her favorite princess is Belle so I made her a beautiful "Belle" cake. She loved it. (Thanks, Sybrina for everything!) 
Of course, every Princess needs her jewelry so we let the girls bead their own bracelets. That is one of Maegan's favorite things to do. She LOVES to do crafts. Every other day we are making a craft. I used to go to great lengths to find a craft and then do it with her and it took a lot of time and energy and I even found myself thinking . "oh man, another craft I don't really want to do this". but I have realized it is just the mom time that she wants and as long as she has glitter glue she is a happy girl.

Such a cute girl and fun looking party.
I can't believe she is older than Evan. I totally think of her as this tiny little thing! You are amazing to do individual parties if everyone's birthdays are so close!
Cute pictures. Man Maegan is such a little beauty- she looks so much like you in the picture of you two together. I don't know how you do it, celebrating all of those birthdays one right after the other. I guess there is no other choice right? Still, you go all out and i'm certain the kids are so pleased with their parties. Sounds like Maegan is still really tender hearted, she shed a few tears because you wanted her to wear something different. Such a girl thing to do ;)
Wow! She is 5! I remember holding her and she was so teeny right after you had her. I didn't realize all 4 of your kids bdays were so close. My oldest two are two days apart and I thought THAT was hard! We are glad to have a January bday instead of June the 3rd time around. You are such a fun mom!
