Horse Ranch Birthday Party

OMG! My girl is 7 you guys! How does that happen that kids get older, yet we (the parents + our friends we’ve known since high school) don’t age? lol

One thing I love to do each year is a big fun birthday party for this girl! It just so happens it’s falls one week before summer’s over, so it’s just really nice to get together with our family and friends and have some fun! Not that we need an excuse to have cake and fun… This girl always gets the best birthdays, she’s been the only one so far, so it’s been easy to pull off one big party per year, now it will get more fun planning birthdays for both my girls. What can I say, I’m one proud happy mama!! ;)

Gabriella’s birthday was at a lovely horse ranch just a short drive away. This girl loves horses since forever and I’m so happy she had this perfectly ‘her’ birthday party. She kind of wanted to keep the horse and take him home ;) 

It was the perfect summery day, the kind you really cross your fingers for when you plan an outdoor birthday adventure. It sure was perfect. The kids had a blast, the grown-ups mingled, there was cake and cupcakes (gluten-free and vegan cake and cupcakes recipes will come at a later time) What else can I say…. I think I’ll let the pics to the talking ;) 

This was the first big party that little Amelia attended and she was such a good sport! 
She’s a party girl just like her sister and kind of her mama ;)

I wished this day wouldn’t have ended… it was so great to see our friends and just enjoy the beautiful outdoors. 
The plan now is that we’re looking for a house with horse stables – I am totally up for that as long as it has a big vegetable garden and an apple, plum and peach tree ;)

Happy birthday my most amazing daughter. Sometimes I really do pinch myself that I have all this… #luckygirl
