Kaitlyn's 3rd Birthday Party

It is Superbowl Sunday and the fun just doesn't stop. Kaitlyn turns three on February 5 and we had a super-duper, fun birthday at Pump It Up Jr. on Saturday. Her immediate family joined in some fun with Aunt Becky and Layna (nanny/godmother) coming too.

She had all of her friends come to join in some bounce house fun. The slides and bounce house gym was perfectly sized to two and three year olds. The kiddos rolled in and played for almost an hour on just about everything. I think the slide was the hit. Kaitlyn did the slide a couple of times. I think she was amazed that she knew everyone there. She couldn't get into just one thing because of so much going on; plus when we were in the middle of playing, she decides that she is super hungry. Oops, we remembered everything, except to feed the kiddo a snack before the party.

Once we were in the playroom ready for cake, Kaitlyn warmed up a little. She really liked sitting in the over-sized chair while we sang to her. She pretty much stayed in that chair and then opened presents the whole time. We could have stayed there for a long time visiting, but the employees had to kick us out for the next party.

Overall, it was a success and I think Kaitlyn liked it. I think she was a little overwhelmed with the size. She loved blowing out her candles and the slide always gets her attention. I didn't think I had to lead her around as much as I did, but lately she has been sticking close. She sees me with Jackson a lot and wants me more. Jackson on the other hand, was passed around to different family members and did really well. He couldn't be a more easy-going, go-with-the-flow baby if he tried. I also thought I would have to tough things out on Sunday and the next day to even out from the weekend, but he is doing just fine. How lucky are we? He has just been hanging out and smiling, maybe it is being five months. Kaitlyn was pretty awesome at five months too.

After the party, we went home and opened some presents and Kaitlyn got an old school tricycle from Oma and Papa. She liked riding it in front of all of her family too. Afterwards, we went to dinner at Ralph and Kacoos. Kaitlyn got a sundae for her birthday and licked the spoon like an ice cream cone. Since she doesn't normally like ice cream because it is cold too cold for her, this was a new experience for her.



Here are photos of the birthday party.
