Things got a little complicated when the premie we've been fostering since November was discharged from NICU early and came home with us that afternoon. I really didn't want to cancel the girls party, but baby W is way too little to expose to a pool area or a crowd of kids. I'm breastfeeding this little guy and leaving him home with Aaron was not really an option either. My mom saved the day and came to the hotel to stay with baby during the party, and he roomed with the girls and I ourfor his first out of the hospital. It was a little crazy, but everything worked out just fine. I hope the girls remember their 10th and 12th birthdays fondly as the birthday they had a baby brother.
On to the festivities, each of the girls invited 2 friends over to the hotel for the complimentary appetizer hour and swimming at the pool. Pictures below are Quincy, Millie K, and Ellie W. Reese had Emma F and Finley S. What a sweet, silly, giggly bunch of ladies. It was my treat to spend the evening with this lot.
After swimming, the girls requested a round of Pie Face. That game doesn't get old!
Once we were settled up in our room for the night, Kasey brought by some surprise hot cocoa. I set up the bassinet next to our bed, snuggled down between my first and second born, and they fell asleep watching star wars.
The boys joined us for breakfast and I stayed in the room with baby a d Sloane while Aaron took the big kids for a morning swim before we checked out. I think mother daughter hotel night needs to be an annual thing, and Reese and Quincy agree! In a few years, we'll have Sloane join us, too.
Happy birthday, big girls!
