:: The boy's table ::
:: The girl's table ::
My kids' birthdays are nine days apart (+4 years) so they share a family party. It's a lot less work and travel for all. At one end of the house was the girlie tea party table, at the other was the space adventure table. After singing to J, everyone filtered through the kitchen to the dining room to sing to N. Both kids had a great time running crazy with their cousins and opening all the loot. There are more pictures of the party here. (Thanks for coming, my sweet family!)
It was quite the birthday extravaganza weekend. Yes, J and two of his buddies, Daddy and Da all enjoyed the Monster Truck Jam. We'll have a special dinner on N's actual birthday and maybe something sweet for desert, then we're taking a rest. Phew.

How great! Love the candles on the rocket cake. And what a sweet tea table for N. Now get some rest, you crafty mama!

My birthday and my sister's birthday are 7 days short of four years apart and we always had combined family parties too. Happy Birthday N!

Happy birthdays, sweet little ones!
I love both tables and all the photos on flickr.

Phew is right! JJ was born just under a month before Elle's birthday (although his due date was only a week before ... thank goodness he was early!) and I didn't know how I was going to handle that! But 9 days apart? What a whirlwind!!!!

I think it's great that they "share" a birthday so nicely...you're one great Mom to tackle 2 parties in one day!

What a smart Mama. My Sister and I are 3 years and 1 day apart. We always shared birthdays too. Lots of fun. Hope it was a great celebration. Love the Rocket cake.

Glad they had fun!! When Madison heard it was J's birthday last week, she wanted to know why we couldn't go to his party! Nine hours is just a bit too far, but maybe some year...

So sweet. Happy Birthday to you both, cutie-pies.
Love the party in two rooms. :)

That's nice that you could combine their parties. I prefer the girls' table. :-)
