The joy of having children born close to Christmas is that they will forevermore have TWO birthdays. The first, is a small family-only shindig with cake, ice cream and pictures. The second, is "The Friend Party". Jared has been planning his 5 1/2 birthday party for weeks and weeks -- and it was lots of fun. Here are our pictures to share with the family!
Can you tell what our "theme" was for this party?
We made 48 cupcakes with homemade icing -- not one made it home.
The "brickmaster" area was a big hit. Huge box of Legos on a table in the shade = happy distraction.
Kara and Kenneth returning to pre-grown-up sibling pestering. :)
Our sweet neighbor, Ella. Jared's friend since she was 2 weeks old and lived next door to us.
Michelle & Rachel who were visiting this weekend drew these chalk directions through the park.
Waterballoon attack! This was one of the highlights. Tom was the favorite target because he's so fast he could dodge almost all of the balloons, even with a whole group attacking! Uncle Kenneth and his friend Geoff blew up dozens and dozens of water balloons for us -- thanks guys!
Jared and Clark holding the awesome Ice Planet Hoth rebel base.
Rachel & Michelle were lifesavers with baby during the party. It was so nice to have hands-free to set up!
Kenneth, Kara and little Laura.
