At some point, during the birthday planning process, I start to regret the decision to throw such a monstrous party. 40 guests to be exact!! The multiple trips to COSTCO, the searching through Micheal's for the perfect party favours, baking 40 cupcakes, icing 40 cupcakes, all becomes a bit much. However, inevitably at some point during the party, I look around at the laughing kids jumping on the bouncing castle, parents chatting over cold ones, our house just a buzzing, and I realize....I LOVE THIS !!!!!
 |
| The Jumping Castle...what a hit!!! | | | | |
|
|
 |
| Even I got into it!!! |
 |
| Pretty brave after two kids, huh? | | | |
|
 |
| the guests started to arrive.... |
 |
| and mingle... |
 |
| We even had friends and family from out of town. |
|
 |
| I busted these suspects digging through the ice for 'ice rings" |
 |
| an ice ring!! |
We served hotdogs and chips, nothing fancy but some really enjoyed it!
 |
| Avery knows how to have a good time at a party!! |
|
|
 |
| Waiting patiently for presents...it didn't last for long before I was swarmed. |
 |
| I don't even know where Bella is in this picture... it was chaos. OK, now I see her, look for her hat!!! |
 |
| "If you want a cupcake, sit on the grass" |
 |
| Happy Birthday Bella!!!! Because I love you, I baked and iced 40 of these suckers. |

Aunty Erin was able to capture this picture of Bella enjoying her party (and her cupcake)!

Bodhi & his pretty Mama, flashing us a smile!!
The girls and I made a home made pinata. It turned out really well and Brett rigged up a 2 x 4 on the tree house for the kids to try and knock it open. |
