Friends and birthdays

As we approached September (eek!, I know, it's just around the corner), Sidney was begging for what we call a "friend" birthday party. It's a given that our girls have family over to celebrate their birthdays. But we have held off on "friend" parties for as long as possible with each of them, for a variety of reasons. Just as we hosted an early pool/family party this year for her, we decided to allow her to invite a few friends over for a pool party today. She was so very excited, because after all, they were HER (school) friends, not our friends who happened to have kids about her age. Only a handful of friends were able to make it, but it was perfect for her. With heat indexes over 100, we invited each child's whole family to stay and play; let's just say in the water the place to be!
I was a little too busy to be running around with my camera, but I did capture a quick photo of her and one of her BFF's. 
Just look at that shear happiness across her face :)
