Happy Birthday Alexa and Sam!

We combined the girls birthdays and had a tiny celebration at Soak City.
The kids had a blast! Paul and I both got sunburn. My family, close friends and some of Sam and Alexa's favorite playmates came to celebrate!
Sam grew up with most of these girls. She's known them since she was Alexa's age...TWO!The pyramid:And the guys version of the pyramid. Not bad!And the family and friends below hanging out in the V.I.P. cabana (yes...I do think we're cool :))

These boys (Aiden and Brandon) were always on the move, I could barely take any pictures of them besides this:
Alexa was lovin' the water, but I think that the chlorine or hot sun was getting to her. She seemed a little out of it as the day went by.
Here's the one pic that I caught that wasn't such a "pose". I'd try to direct her, by telling her just to move and then she started doing the robot!!!! LOL! This girl is definitely from Long Beach! She cracked up at her own self and I finally got something natural:

My closest girlfriends and I trying to live up our youth:
Cousins Tony and Calvin were there to celebrate with us.

My good friends Eleanor and Shawne celebrated her first wedding anniversary that day as well. They were the ones that got married in Cancun last year. We headed to her house afterwards for some yummy BBQ and spirits! Our friend Michelle even found some cake mix and baked Alexa and Sam a birthday cake! Eleanor found 2 tea lights and Sam blew out one and Alexa blew out the other!
Alexa has never had the real thing yet. So I'm planning on getting a small cake for her to taste what frosting is! I'll have to remember to get some birthday candles and let her blow away!
