Super Saturday

Saturday was a fun-filled day for all of us! First up was Harrison's (belated) birthday party. While his actual birthday was back in December, it just seemed best to let the holidays get behind us and all our friends get back to town and then celebrate. It worked out great!

We had the party at Boingo Bounce which was perfect for this age of kiddos! :)


I tried to get some pics of the kids that came, but some of them were just too busy jumping to pose for me! I did get a few though.


Harrison was thrilled when his friend Drew ended up being able to come at the last minute! These boys love each other so much & I heard Drew say more than once "I love you Harrison!" Sweet boys. They are so two peas in a pod! :)







Since Harrison's new obsession is Cars, we did a cars theme. I was able to find just about anything we'd want in Cars -- juiceboxes, cheese-its, pretzels, the works! Made the party so easy for me!


We did get a group picture -- 1.Bella, Brooklyn 2. Madeleine, Drew, Reid, Grace, Taylor, Olivia, Jackson 3.Cooper, Harrison, Peyton, Bennett.


At one point, on of the moms (Kim) remarked to me how neat it was that all these kids are like each other's family. It's Harrison's own church family -- what a wonderful thing to have that at only 5 years old! I can't wait to watch these bonds continue to grow through the years.

After jumping and playing and getting good and hot & sweaty, it was time for cake & snacks. And, then presents! Harrison was completely spoiled by all of his sweet friends. He was also so so excited to hand out his goodie bags. He'd help get the stuff for them and could not wait to give them to his friends.





We had our friends Grace & Cooper come over for the afternoon to play. The boys had a big time playing with Harrison's new toys and Madeleine and Grace played dolls, house and Barbie for most of the afternoon. It's the quietest our house has been in awhile. :)





After a fun couple of hours, we packed back up and headed to the church to drop off the crew so Matt & I could go to date night. Woo hoo!

The kids always look forward to date night -- except Charlotte -- because they get to play at the church with their friends for 4 wonderful hours. And, Matt & I get to have a quiet dinner.

It was such a fun day! We were all exhausted at the end, but it's that good kind of tired that happens after a fun-filled day.
