Birthdays Birthdays Everywhere

This time of year we have a lot of friends with birthdays. Last weekend Abby had a party on Saturday (her friend Kendall) and a party on Sunday (her friend Roman). This weekend she had a party yesterday (her friend Cai) and a party tomorrow (her friend Corre). Next Saturday we have a joint party for Meredith and Sam. I remember last year, every time we went to a party, Abby wanted to open the presents and blow out the candles. But this year she has the whole procedure down and gets very excited when we have a party to attend!



Blowing lots of bubbles at Kendall's party at the park.



Sliding with the birthday girl.



Playing ball with the boys.



Supervising Kendall opening her presents.



Sliding at the big jump place for Roman's party. I did not even know this place was here (it just opened a month ago). These places used to only be way out in the suburbs so it is great they have begun to open some close by! Parties at jump places guarantee great naps later because the kids get completely worn out.



Getting ready for more jumping!




Playing in the ball area at Cai's birthday party. Cai's party was also at a jump/bounce place though this one was a different one from Roman's party.



The kids loved playing in the ball area but we found out later that they were all too big to play in there. Oops. Funny thing is I can't imagine letting smaller kids in the balls because it was kind of deep and I think you would lose them!



Tired out but happy to eat pizza and ice cream! Abby fell asleep in the car about 5 minutes after we left the party and slept all the way home.
