We arrived at our party and started jumping right away. Below: Mommy and KK being silly. Daddy and AJ taking time to cheese before going completely nuts in the bounce houses. AJ did actually refuse to leave one of the houses for awhile. He was convinced to move on after Daddy promised to take him on the slide!
A quick family shot before we took off to talk with friends and jump to our hearts content!
The party was a complete success! We had 25 sweet friends who came to celebrate with Kaitlyn. God has truely blessed Kaitlyn and each of us with these friendships, every day we thank God for surrounding us by some of the most amazing, kind and wonderful people!
Below: Samina and Nick are great! They have never missed one birthday party :-) Next to them, our cousins, who are always always there for us. We love you guys soo0 much!
The kids did such a good job just playing together and having fun. All the parents were able to talk and hold the babies while taking turns jumping and playing too. KK had such fun - she jumped with almost everyone that came and made sure to try each and every bounce house. She even got Samina to join in (sort of)!
Here is a group shot of our friends -- pretty impressive that I gathered so many kiddos into one spot and managed to capture them. It takes a lot of skill but I am becoming a pro - and please note Miss Amanda in the middle who joined in to help :-)
After 1 1/2 hours of non-stop jumping, the kids were ready for some snacks and cupcakes. After the fruit, cheese and crackers were eaten, and everyone took there seats, we were ready to celebrate the birthday girl!
Below: Our strawberry shortcake cupcakes; KK as everyone sang Happy Birthday to her; KK holding on to her best friends hand as she thinks of her wish.
Happy 4th Birthday sweet KK!
Now do you see little man peaking to watch behind her? After KK blew out her candles, he turned around and laughed out loud while clapping his hands in joy! What a sweet moment that he was so happy for his big sister! In this picture, I am holding the plate while everyone is singing to KK, and I will never forget how she just looked at me, with complete joy in her face and smiled as this picture was taken.
The wishes were made and then the cupcakes were eaten. There was nothing left to do but open all those presents! The kids crowded around, inching closer each time another present was opened, excited and having fun. KK got so many thoughtful gifts, again we are so thankful. Before we knew it, it was time to hug everyone goodbye and hand out our treat bags (mini gummi bears with a flower or dinosaur ring so cute). KK did stand up on a chair and thank everyone for coming to her party - it was sweet. Here is a shot of her after her speech:

So thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us, and for those of us who couldn't but sent warm wishes and hugs later on! Love you!
