Bon Anniversarie Kylie and Evie

Since Kylie and Evie's birthdays are only 2 weeks apart we decided to have a joint party for them the weekend in between. We enjoyed an afternoon in Paris right in our own backyard. The weather was perfect and we all had a blast.

Bonjour

The bounce house is ready (and just barely fit!) I didn't take tree heights into consideration when I measured for it:) 

And the Boulangerie is open- we ate croissant sandwiches (we baked the Trader Joe's croissants that morning- so yummy), quiche, cheese and crackers, fruit, and pastries. Thank you to my mom for making my awning vision a reality :)

Merci Beaucoup for the many presents. The girls are loving them!!

The bounce house was a total hit. So glad I got the one with the slide too. So fun for climbing up...

And going down!

And jumping inside, watch out Jadon! (Side note: Ky LOVED this bounce house. She didn't nap the day of her party and literally stayed inside the jumper until they picked it up at 4)

Evie with Grandpa B and Grandma Meg

Evie had some friends there too. Here she is with Ella (13 months) and Ellie (6 months) and mommy's Courtney and Emily. E names must be popular right now!

We attempted to play Pin the Heart on the Eiffel Tower...it was a bit of a flop (Ky cried and wouldn't play because she didn't want the blindfold on)

But a few of the other kids tried. I asked Carter to go first since he was the oldest at 6 and told me he was really good at that game. Turns out he was right because he ended up winning :)

Kylie enjoying a sweet moment with her Daddy

Sebastian's turn

My mom gave a mini (2 minute) French lesson. Here she is telling the kids to plug their nose to help with the French accent.

Next we had cupcakes. Kylie doesn't love being in front of a crowd so after we sang to her she burst into tears. This caused Evie to start crying too so here they were after we sang.

Luckily they cheered up after they tasted their cupcakes

Especially this one (her first real sugar experience)

Why have you been holding out on me mom?!

Jadon, have you tried these yet?? Here, I'll give you some on your face. (He was such a good sport while Evie clobbered his face with her sticky fingers)

Cute cupcakes for everyone

We opened some presents outside but Kylie kept going back in to the jumper so we had to finish the rest later. Friends and family were so generous and the girls got so many wonderful gifts!

Here's Kylie trying out her fun new pony bike from Grandpa Jim and Grandma Meg

And the girls being pulled in their new wagon from Grandma and Grandpa B (given to them the day before)

Thanks to everyone who made it to the party. And thank you to Rachel and Alison for all the awesome pictures! 

Au revoir
