Serena was born on December 27, 1999....it snowed so hard on the way to the hospital at midnight that we could barely see the road ahead. With a winter and Christmas birthday, she often longed for a summer party. We've done one in the past and it was so much fun. This time we did a "half-birthday" celebration with just the 4 of us. She'll be hitting double digits in December, so this was her last blast as a 9 1/2 year old! This family needs no excuse to celebrate and have fun!!
The girls bust a move in the garage
A Hawaiian theme is a must for a summer bash! 
Yummies for the "s'mores luau!
Natalie and mom made the surfboard...it says, "Ride the waves to 10!"
There she is, half birthday cake and 5 candles. We sure surprised her...she thought we weren't going to do anything special. After a wonderful dinner, Natalie and dad snuck out to the garage. I told Serena I needed her help out there. We shut off the lights and yelled "surprise!" when she came out. We sang "happy half-birthday" andshe even got to open a present. The party went on with a competitive game of ladderball and a beautiful bonfire. These are the family times we will all cherish for sure!!
