Birthday Pics

You know you have a precocious child when you bake their birthday cupcakes, set them out to cool and come back five minutes later to find this:




Luckily, there were plenty of cupcakes left for the party. :)

Sydney had fun trying out the bouncy house we rented all by herself while we waited for the guests to arrive:




Evan was a bit more apprehensive about being in an enclosed spaced that moved and jiggled, though:




The party really got underway when my mom climbed in to have a bit of fun:




We took a break from jumping to create our own celebratory cupcakes (since my cake decorating skills leave something to be desired):




Evan was not so thrilled with his plain, non-messy cupcake, though:




Liam enjoyed opening up copious amounts of presents:




And the guests went home with their very own goody bags buckets:



I knew all those trips Ryan has to take to NYC would pay off - I made him pick up a pound of yellow M&M's and a pound of red M&M's the last time he was there to put in the "Cars" themed buckets.


After the guests departed (we really did have guests, but I don't want to post their pictures without their permission), we all had fun playing in the bouncy house until the rental company came to pick it up:





Yes, that's me attempting to do a somersault. And, yes, I was quite sore the next day.

I even got all three kids to sit still for two seconds in order to snap a picture of them:



Can you tell they were tired? Right after that, we headed inside for a quick dinner, bath and bed.

Good times were had by all.
