A Gymnastics Birthday Party

The girl's birthday party was yesterday. It was a gymnastics birthday. They do an hour of (organized) gymnastics and then we have 30 minutes for cake and presents. It was an awesome time and all the kids had a blast. Here are some pictures from her special day!

Remember the parachute? The boy loved it! He's in the black shirt.

They had a ton of fun. Her party was over at 4 and we had another birthday party to go to at 5 with a jumpy house and water slide. By the end of the night they were exhausted. I realize that I did not get any presents of her opening presents. She got a lot of fun princess stuff. Now we've got to go through some things to find space for her new toys.
Jim is feeling good today. In fact, he's playing golf today. He thinks it's great to wear just plain sunglasses!
Have a great week!

What a FUN idea for a birthday party! I just read your siesta spotlight and thought I would check out your blog and it is great! What a precious family.

My kids take gymnastics and they offer birthday parties, too. I have thought about doing one there, so thanks for the review!

Forgot about the names, you can just tell her and then delete it! Brain fog!

So glad they had fun! I can't believe she's already 5! Love you much!

That looks like so much fun! 5 years old...I bet you can hardly believe your baby is 5.
The pictures of your husbands eye made me cringe. It was so cool though.
