Oh my goodness! Talk about crazy! I can't think of any other way to describe the events leading up to the girls' birthday party this year! The previous two years we had done their party at the local swimming pool. This year we wanted to try a backyard birthday party. Hubby worked hard getting the play set ready in time. Everything seemed to be working out just right, that is until the week before the party. We started having strange weather. This past week was cold in the 60's and we even had rain!
In a panic on Thursday I checked the weather report. The weather said Friday would rain and Saturday there would be rain all night and day. It was also supposed to be a mere 61 degrees outside. This would not work for a backyard birthday party. The way my house is laid out we really couldn't fit all of those people inside either. So in a panic I called the local gymnastics studio to find out if by chance they had an opening for a birthday party on Saturday. Can you believe they actually did? Lucky us. We booked it right away. The only downfall was that would change our party time from 11 to 12:30 start time. For most people it wasn't a problem but it did affect a few families. Aly's friend Nathan was supposed to be at another birthday party at 1 p.m. so he skipped our party and went to that one. Everybody else was still able to come though so that was good.
The gymnastics place decided to do KK first. She had a hard time blowing out the candles. I promise they were not trick candles! We'll work on that for next year...
Aly's video is much shorter cause she has it down now!
Aly and KK wanted to put dalmatian tattoos on for the party. They put paw prints on their cheek and dalmatians on their arm. They had Pongo, Perdita, Penny, and Patch.
The kids loved the gymnastics portion of the party. They had so much fun running around on the obstacles, jumping in the bounce house, and on the trampoline.
The kids enjoyed pizza, cupcakes, and icecream.
They decided to sing Happy Birthday to KK first. She was thrilled!
Aly said she forgot to make a birthday wish.
The girls opened presents and had a great time. Lucky me the staff took care of helping the girls and even wrote down what they got! This was the easiest party we have ever had!
