BIRTHDAY GIRL!!
Kaydri, Sophia, Taelor, Audrey and Ava tired out after jumping on the inflatables
On Wednesday Audrey turned 4. We had decided to have her party a little early due to the fact that one of her friends was leaving for Nicaragua. So Monday night the 14th was the big party day. We began with supper at McDonalds. Braidon (her cousin) is only 3 days younger than her also decided to join us with his "boy" party that night. So we (Holly and I) had about 12 very excited kids eating supper. After we were done eating we headed over to the Y to run off some energy on the inflatables. They all enjoyed playing but the boys probably had more fun because they could throw each other around and wrestle and not get hurt. I guess boys will be boys! We had some very hot and sweaty kids when we left about an hour later. It turned out to be a beautiful night after kind of an overcast day so we headed to the park to open presents and have cake and ice cream. I have decided that next year maybe I'll just decorate a cardboard box since I don't think any of the kids even ate cake. They all just wanted to see what was on the cake and help blow out candles. A box is much cheaper than a cake! We ended up bringing most of the cake home and freezing it. After ice cream, opening presents, and playing at the park, we had some very tired and dirty, kids. Taelor spent the night at our house because it seems it has become a tradition that someone will spend the night when one of the kids has a birthday. The girls took a bath and watched Princess Gigi and then it was time for bed. I'm not sure why I tried to let them sleep in the same bed but I gave them one chance. Of course they blew it and ended up in separate beds. You would have thought after such an eventful night they would have slept in but I woke up to hear Audrey in her most motherly voice telling Taelor it was time to get up. So they played a while on Thursday, fought a little bit, made several messes, and then the birthday party was officially over!
