Last fall we went to two 1-year-old birthday parties, both of which were held outside. Today we went to our first indoor, big kid birthday party. Our friend Maya turned 3 and her parents, Clark & Andee, held a party at their house in JP.
Andee has become a very good friend of mine over the last two years. I was so happy to be able to celebrate Maya's birthday with them!
Maya has an amazing trampoline! She was very happy to show S&Z how it worked!
As soon as Zoe saw the tramp she wanted a turn. Maya was so good about sharing her toys with all the other kids at the party!
Here's a quick video of Zoe as she was figuring out how it worked.
Silas only tried it once, whereas Zoe kept returning to it throughout the party.
There was a big craft table set up. S&Z had their first experiences with markers AND play-doh today!
They loved watching and playing with all the kids,
And Maya organized some circle time for everyone,
As usual, Silas showed his charms to all the other adults. He ended up in the arms of this nice man who picked him up when Silas held his arms out to him :) Silas is watching his sister jump on the trampoline (again!) in this picture.
We had such a fun morning at the party. They ate fruit and snacks and ice cream and cake for lunch, and took a 2-1/2 hour long nap when we got home. That's what birthday parties are all about!
