Rachel's 9th Birthday - 2014

Our sweet Rachel's 9th Birthday!!!

She wanted a Dolphin party, so Grandma Taylor made her a beautiful cake with our blue color theme.  We found a dolphin cookie cutter and had all different shades of blues.  It was really pretty.  Pop-pop even found these cute milk bottles we used for the punch.

They made dolphin sad art necklaces.

 We played some minute-to-win it games.  This was the ping-pong balls in a tissue box.  They had a great time jumping around trying to get them out.  Rachel was the master, she got them all out in the shortest amount of time.

 Sorting skittles.  Who will be the fastest??

Rachel and her friends.  Emily, Ashlynn, Eowyn, Hana, Mimi (and her little sis, Julia) - all ballet friends.  Then the 4 amigos: Anna, Kora, Lindsey and Rachel.

 Her birthday dinner choice was Cracker Barrel, Yum!!!  Then she opened her present from us.  The new American Girl doll, Isabelle.  

Beautiful cake from Grandma Taylor

And at the end of the day, the 4 besties!!!  Rachel had a wonderful day.  We love you sweetie and hope you have a very wonderful year.  We are so blessed to be chosen to be your parents.  We love you dearly!!!
