jb's birthday party

in our house, there's always such build-up for birthdays; there's talking about who's birthday is next, the planning of the party, buying a few gifts, and the days of celebrating.  we always celebrate ON the birth day with family.  then, a party to follow that weekend with friends.  this year, jb was lucky enough to have three days of celebrations - birth day, at school, then his party.  whatta lucky little guy.

for his party this year, we chose to have it at his gymnastics gym.  he started lessons in the fall and has really enjoyed himself.  like, so much, i'm wondering what took me so long to get him enrolled!  he loves his coach and the friendly friends in class with him.  because of his excitement around everything-gymnastics, i thought this would be a fun place to have his party.

 even the big kids had fun

 i think this was when we determined it was time to wrap up the party...

...happy birthday, dear jackie...

these minions were sooo delish!

such a fun two hours with friends!
