Bri's Birthday Party

Bri had a wonderful birthday today. It started off with a donut with sprinkles (daddy's birthday tradition for the girls.) After a morning playing around the house, it was lunch at McDonalds. Then we came home and Bri opened her birthday gifts. Here is one from Annie that she loved:


While Bri was taking her nap, a big surprise was being set up in the backyard:
The girls absolutely loved it. Bri is obsessed with jumping (she has to jump into everything -- into her diaper, into her clothes to get dressed, etc.) And if they don't sleep good tonight after all the jumping they did today, something's wrong!
Here is Bri before her "Bee-Day" party. We decided on the bee theme since Bri's nickname is "Bee." The bumblebee costume that I dug out of the closet was just a bonus (Emily's Halloween costume from 2 years ago!)
Grandma Susanne got a Jelly Belly dispenser for her little "jelly bean."
The inflatable was a big hit at the party. The kids didn't know there would be one here (we didn't even know until this morning!), so it was funny to watch their reaction when they came into the backyard and saw it!
Bri had been waiting all day to eat her bumblebee cake:
It was a great day and a fun party, but I'm not sure who's more tired right now, the kids or mom!

Looks like lots of fun! When Paisley saw the pictures she said, "My go to party." I had to tell her what I have to tell her every time she talks about "Jessie graduation" - it's far, far away. She wasn't happy and all morning she thought we were going to a party.
