Kyndall, Kassidy, Rustin, Ryder and KaydenceI am more than two months late, but I am finally posting pictures from the quints birthday! Their birthday fell on Sunday this year, so we went to church in the morning and had a few families over for cake in the evening. They are old enough to really "get" birthdays now, so they were SO excited!
The Fab 5 with their gifts---Five is a very "normal" family size, so the quints birthday is like some families Christmas! (Something I should have thought about before saving all the present wrapping until the last minute :-) )
The present wrapping started out with order and taking turns....
...but quickly evolved into mass chaos!
The quints take a break----All that present un-wrapping can be exhausting!
I made each of the quints their own little mini-cake in their color. In addition to color coding, each of the quints has a symbol that they chose to identify their things when multiple colors are not available. Kassidy--flower, Kaydence--sunshine, Kyndall--heart, Rustin--basketball, Ryder--changes his mind a lot (for his cake it was a monster)

Happy Birthday to Kassidy!!
Happy Birthday to Kaydence!
Happy Birthday to Rustin!!
Happy Birthday to Kyndall!!
Happy Birthday to Ryder!!
For the rest of the party guests, I made two cakes---a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling (to die for!) and...
Lemon cake with raspberry cream cheese filling
The day following the quints actual birthday, we had their "friend" party. After spending lots of time on Riley and Kaiya's birthday parties this year, I decided to make life easy on myself and have the quints party at the Big Bounce.
We invited all the kids from church who are in their Sunday School classes----there are 21 kids their age, so it was a big group! I was really interested to see what my kids would do at the party. They don't get invited on playdates with other kids very often and they are so used to playing with each other, that I wondered if they would stick together or branch out. To my surprise, none of them stayed together---they all buddied up with someone else.

Kyndall was more of a free spirit, running around by herself---she did join a bunch of other girls watching a movie for a little bit.
Ryder with his pal Andrew
We sang Happy Birthday and had cupcakes. I made rainbow cupcakes (pink, purple, yellow for the girls and blue, green, white for the boys) but I was so busy I forgot to take pictures of the inside!

Present Time!
Present un-wrapping quickly turned into a free-for-all!
The Party Kids!
The quints with the cute gal that hosted our party at the Big Bounce! It was so much fun, and the best part----I didn't have to get my house ready for a party, or clean up after the 4-year-old invasion!
