Birthday Party #1

Saturday was the big "dual Cinderella princess gymnastics birthday party" as Brooklynn  named it.  We had a combo party with Hazel, who was turning 2. Brooklynn was anticipating this day for a long time, and when it came to naptime on Saturday she didn't sleep a wink and said to me, "Ok mommy I'm ready for my party", when I went in her room to get her up for the party.  The party was a blast - the kids got to run around on the trampoline, jump in the bounce house, and even take a walk on the balance beam.  I've never seen Brooklynn so happy and have so much fun.  It made all the hard work worth it! Here's some pics of the big day:

 And the kids arrive......

 To the gymnastics room!  Hazel "the dare devil" takes the first plunge

 "Come back Jackson (aka Prince Charming) - I love you!"

 Pure excitement!

 Brooklynn decided to body slam Kiley under the parachute

 Ready for candles......Brooklynn had to sing "Happy Birthday" to herself before everyone could join in.  I'll have to put the video up - too funny!

 Hazel blows out the candles no problem - some reason Brooklynn wasn't as successful.

 All the kiddos

 What?  Who said I couldn't have 3 cupcakes?

 After the party the girls immediately crashed in the car.  As the party finished Carrie landed at the airport, so we met up with Steve's family for dinner.  After a yummy Mexican meal the waiters came to sing to the birthday girl.  She's wasn't too sure at first, but was all smiles after they started singing the English version.

 And of course she loved the sopaipillas

We were exhausted by the end of the day, but Brooklynn knew it was only a warm-up to the next party on Sunday.  What a fun day!
