Birthday Bash...

Since the boys' birthdays all fall within a 3 week span of each other, we usually do one joint birthday party to celebrate. And since the kids have so many friends along with a large family, I try to find a large, kid friendly place to host all of us. This year we decided to go with Jungle Joes. For those of you who aren't familiar with it, it's an indoor gymnasium with a bunch of inflatible slides and bouncers that provide hours of sliding and jumping fun! We had about 20 kids come and join in the birthday festivities. For the first hour, the kids played in the bounce area and had a blast bouncing and sliding their little hearts out.

And of course, we had to have a pinata filled with yummy candy!

After playing in the arena part and opening the pinata, our party was escorted to a room on the side to continue the birthday festivities and sing Happy Birthday.

Once everyone filled up on pizza, pop, cake and ice cream, it was on to the presents. It was so nice because we were given a helper for each child to help them unwrap their gifts. All I had to do was sit back and relax while the "helpers" took care of everything... it was wonderful!
So many presents...
By the end of the day, everyone was completely exhausted and ready to go home! It was a great way to celebrate the kids birthday and I am excited to see what next year brings for them!
