(Birthday) Party Animal

**(The first part of the birthday celebration is just before this post...make sure you see that one too)**
We had to wait to celebrate Brooklynn's birthday with her parties until the weekend after since her actual birthday fell on a Monday this year.  Poor Brooklynn....her birthday has fallen on Opening Weekend for deer hunting season for the past several years....so this year was special since Daddy got to be here to help celebrate her on her actual day.  She doesn't mind though....and its easy for me to be able to pick which weekend I will do her parties - ha!

So on Saturday, November 12th we got to celebrate with all her friends at a fun bouncy place.  It was actually the same place we did it last year, but she asked to have it there again - which honestly it was FINE by me....they take care of everything - you just show up with cake and you are good to go...its a win-win!

Lots of her school friends got to come and play as well as lots of other friends too....she had a blast (and even some of the grown ups enjoyed the slides and bounce houses hahahaha) and the kids were sad when the time was up to move to the party room to eat cake - they wanted to run more!  The time really does go by fast when you are there running around and playing.  Of course once the kids were in the party room and served their pizza and cake, all was forgotten....cake and ice cream always makes things better - ha!  I didn't get too many pics of the kids playing - way to hard to keep up with all of them LOL....


Brookie was brave this year and tried out climbing the rock wall....getting all hooked up....

And off she went.....didn't reach the top but she did look pretty cute trying her hardest.....

Some friends jumping and sliding and being silly

Some more friends making the long climb up the big slide....

This slide is HUGE...and FAST!!!

Always fun to slide down in a group....

A friendly game of air hockey.....all the kids waited patiently for their turn..I can honestly say I have never seen an air hockey game in slow motion....hahahaha - it was cute and they had so much fun playing anyway!

Birthday Cake #2 for the week..it was delicious!!!

Time to sing Happy Birthday.....

Making her wish.....

After her party, several of her friends came over to the house to watch her open her gifts and play.....

So much fun celebrating with your friends....L-R - Chloe, Brookie, Elise, Olivia & Blakelyn

Playing beauty shop with Chloe & Blakelyn....

Taking her friends out for a ride in her new set of wheels....

 Sending her balloons up for a trip into the sky....

And finally after a fun-filled day, relaxing at home and playing with some more fun things received for her birthday.

The next day on Sunday, we celebrated her birthday...yet again..with Andy's family.  She had a blast spending the afternoon with them and got lots more neat things to play with.....

And yes....here is cake #3 for the week......another delicious treat (not sure why it rotated when I downloaded it.....)

It was definitely a fun-filled week with lots of celebrating and lots of cake eating hahahaha.  We had a blast and loved getting to celebrate our little girl turning 4 years old!
