Anchors Aweigh!!

Kassidy and Konner's third birthday party was a sailing theme. We have amazing friends with connections, so it was complete with our very own small sailboat to take pictures in as well as real naval signal flags to decorate the yard with. We even had a friend of a friend make the cutest sailor outfits for Kassidy and Konner.Upon arriving to the "USS Fox," guest could snack on lots of fishy snacks in sailboats of their own and try to guess what the signal flags hung on the fence spelled out (it was "Happy 3rd Birthday Kassidy and Konner").The kids got to make and wear a sailor knot bracelet and then make their very own sponge sailboat. No sailboat party would be complete without our very own regatta, so we raced the sponge boats in a bin of water by blowing wind into their sails with straws. It was expecailly entertaining to watch the littlest ones try to do this!Konner and Kassiyd each had teir own sailboat cake. I made them and decorated them myself with all types of candy. They each always get their own "Happy Birthday" song, and blowing out candles at 3 is still a challenge - entertaining, but difficult!Present time was crazy! Man, no love was lost on these two. They are enjoying each and every gift!!It was a warm afternoon, but super heartwarming too. I love to have all our friends and family together and if it is to celebrate my favorite set of twins, hey, even better! All the kids got to leave with their own sailor hat and a nautical goody bag that included life savors (of course!).
A happy birthday indeed for Kassidy and Konner!
