Suki walks with her Granny.

More fun on the zebra!

Now on to the party photos! They don't pick up until present and cake time but we had lots of fun before then coloring pictures, applying tattoos and generally running around like wild things between bites of dinner.

Suki and Grace help Mom open gifts.

Looking at some handmade cards.

Grace flings some paper around and Suki vanishes into the crowd. We had lots of fun when of the other children helped pull the paper off. The oldest kids (a few older than 5) and the youngest (a few younger than 2) aren't in on this action but they're around somewhere.

Intent on some cards.

My butterfly girl looks around.

Another bow on her head!

In the middle of some excitement.

Distracted from present opening by another toy.

Suki had such a great time at her party -- she loved all of the people.

All smiles.

Cake time.

Cake 2.

Cupcake fun.

Looking surprised to get a kiss from Dad.

Closeup of some of the cupcakes.

Granny and Grace with one of the new toys.

Suki eats her cupcake.

Grace and Jackson.

Jeff valiantly tries to get Suki to look at the camera.

More fun with her cupcake.

Time for some refreshing milk.

Such smiles.

Grace with Suki's new ducks. I know, it's quite a shock there.

Drawing for Jeff.

Suki ditched the jumper, it was so messy. Here Grace and Suki play with Jeff before bed.

Suki had 15 adults and and 11 children at her party, which made for an event that was a lot of fun but flew by in what felt like minutes rather than hours. She had such a great time!
