Ragsdale Triplets 4th Birthday Party!

Another set of our favorite triplet friends had a birthday recently too- in fact- the Morgan triplets and the Ragsdale triplets birthdays are 2 days apart! Last year we celebrated both birthdays in the same weekend (which was also 4th of July), this year we had a week break between the two birthdays. Emma, Roman and Jacob wanted a costume party this year! The Ragsdales live in the valley- so a costume party in July makes me sweat just thinking about it- but the girls really wanted to dress so we settled on some "cooler" costumes and hit the party! Ashley was a princess, Emily was Ariel from Little Mermaid and Maddie was Princess Tiger Lily.
Mommy opted for headgear as a costume- it was over 100 degrees when the party started!

The girls lasted in costumes for 1/2 an hour, then we took them off. Some of the kids were troopers and kept theirs on the whole time. It was a fun party- punch was flowing and the kids were happy!

Cake time! As always- we sing three times!

Cutting the cake

Such a great hostess!! (and mommy!)

Then the pinatas came out... Marie (from the Aristocats) was first- I had a bad feeling about it when the girls started to pat and hug the pinata!

Ashley...

Emily...

Bad feeling validated-Disaster- little girls crying- poor Marie!

But we still had 2 pinatas to go!

Triplet Mommy Besties! I love these gals!

I love that we are so close that we get to celebrate these important milestones together- I only wish all the other mommies from the Vegas trip lived just as close so we could all get together- here's hoping one day all the families do (which by the way- Mandy's triplets birthday- that visited in March-is the SAME day as Eve's within hours of each other- how amazing is that)!

Happy 4th birthday Emma, Roman and Jacob! Thank you for a great party!!
