(Warning: Picture OVERLOAD ahead)
In September-ish Celeste and I decided to have a double party for Adria and Valette. I threw out a few theme ideas and Celeste's favorite was Rainbow. So here it is, many ideas thanks to Pinterest:
Rainbow Jello in individual cups. And yes I made 39 of them. I counted. Celeste made a lot too.

I know that it is overexposed, but I love this photo of Adria. Her face is lit so wonderfully.
The Table
Notice the Ribbon Wands in the corner? They were a big hit too. Wish there could have been more, but ribbon costs money...
Rainbow ice cubes made from koolaid to change the flavor of your soda.
Rainbow Fruit Kabobs
just cute girls
We were so excited about the outfits. Aunt Jill made the rainbow pompom tutus with a friend for the girls. I found their polka dot tights online, and I bought white shirts on clearance at Target. I got the shirt idea from this rainbow party. Celeste made the flowers out of silk ribbon and we hand sewed them on the shirts one afternoon.
Aesthetically I really like this image. Seriously.
Celeste also made the hair bows.
Duck, Duck, Goose
Cute Mom and Birthday Girl.
I made that garland. Sadly this is the only photo of it. I love it. So easy. And it had the honor of being my first project on the new sewing machine.
I told Eric to be proud of me because I used the sewing machine for TWO projects before I had even had it a month.

Presents!
I love the peeking in factor of this one.
See how excited she is?
Please admire Laurie's face. She laughs like this all.the.time. I'm a fan.
Madilyn came to join the fun.
Mrs. Potato Head. She really loved this. Had to get it out of the box right away.
Valette's turn for presents.
She got the hang of it this time. At Christmas she didn't understand to pull more than once on the wrapping paper to get a result, but at birthday she totally got it.
She had a hard time putting one thing down to open the next gift though. Especially that phone. It was the first thing she opened and she didn't want to let it go. It was the first thing she played with when she got home too.
Loves!
Austin always has such big expressions. Remember this one?
New baby doll.
Adria couldn't wait to open the rainbow lolli pop.
Grandpa Durfee
Valayne, Pierce, and Gema.
Cake Time!
Adria was very dainty and picked it up carefully.
Valette dug right in. She wasn't concerned or frightened by it.
She tore it apart.
Adria just licked some frosting off the top. Then got down to play.
I love that face. She sticks her cheeks out like that a lot. It's super cute.
Ember and Madilyn.
Hyrum was giving me GREAT facials. Had to take his picture.
I love this photo. I love his face. I love that his parents feet are behind him. So wonderful.
Scarf it down! Valette ate her entire giant cupcake. Every.Single.Bit.
Their birthday is actually today. Happy Birthday, Adria & Valette.
