I think every birthday party becomes my favorite party! Hadley's 10th birthday party was so much fun. We had been hoping for a swim party and then we started losing hope when the pool was taking so long. But Hadley decided it was worth the wait to have her party a little bit late so that she could have a swim party. It helped her decision when she found out Descendants 2 was releasing on the day we had found would work. We planned a swim/movie/ice cream party and it couldn't have been more fun! We picked out a cookie cake, bought lots of "movie" candy, and all kinds of ice cream toppings. I found some cute ice cream party bowls and decorations to make it all complete. We were ready for some fun! To top it off, every single girl she invited said they would be able to come which completely shocked us for having a summer party!
We took lots of pictures while waiting for her friends to arrive...
Everyone is here! 18 girls to be exact. And no fights. Amazing. Just lots of laughing, giggling, and screaming.
Hudson was OVER all these girls! Thats until I talked him into jumping in and joining the fun. Then he was in heaven playing with all the girls. He competed in the obstacle courses and held his own in volleyball. And Hadley wasn't bugged at all. She loved him being there!
Pizza first, more swimming, and now an appetite for ice cream!
More swimming and volleyball.
It's finally 7:00 and what the girls have been waiting for! Descendants 2 was on and the girls took a seat in the hot tub or on the patio to watch on the 2 tvs outside. However, it didn't go as expected. Very few girls kept watching and they really just all wanted to swim instead.
After everyone ate their candy and watched the movie, most decided to get back in the pool and play more games.
As we quickly were running out of time (even though it was a 4 hour party) we hurried to eat cake and open presents. I LOVE her sweet friends. They are the kindest girls who love Hadley so much. And there is one particular thing I noticed in all these pics that makes my heart so, so happy! In almost every picture Hudson is right by Hadley's side. He adores his big sister and was so thrilled to sing for her. He also loved being right by her side while she opened her presents. But even better than that, she didn't mind one bit when it was "her" day! Instead of being annoyed, like so many other siblings would be, she would put her arm around him, let him open a present for her, and didn't one time tell him to get away. They fight...a lot...but they also love each other much, much more!
Happy 10th birthday, Hadley! We love you more than you could ever know and we hope you feel super celebrated on your birthday. I think 10 will be the best year yet!
