Party Time!

Peter had a great birthday celebration this year! We started the party on Saturday with a gym & swim birthday at the Kids Body Shop. Peter and 11 of his buddies (boys only, even though he wanted to invite Alexa really bad) enjoyed pirate cake, presents, swimming, and free play in the gym. What a blast!

His pirate cake. Aaaarg!

The fantastic 12. What an operation!


At first everyone in the pool grabbed a bucket or container. It was the hugest water fight ever! They did start to slow down after a while, so the pirate jumped in and took a turn at the fun. It was hilarious to see all those boys trying to sink the pirate. They were certainly persistent!

After swimming we moved into the gym. They went wild playing on the rings, trampoline, foam pit, bars, beams, etc. What a great party with great friends!

Then on Monday night we had a family party at home. Peter planned the menu: Valentino's pizza, Pringles, pop, cupcakes, and Edy's Dibs. Yummy! (By the way, you should really try Dibs. They're a great treat!)

Grandma, Grandpa, Daniel, Molly, and Micah joined us for fun and presents. At the end of the day Peter said, "I like my birthday WAY better than Christmas because I get to have all the presents!" I love the honesty of a child! He is so uninhibited and expressive at this age. What a treasure!

We are so thankful for these memories made, and especially for our precious Peter boy--6 years old!

Wow! What great pictures and report! Peter still looks so grown-up to me!!! I love that one of him in the water sticking his head out. He looks so cute! (cool, if we are reading this to Peter). I can't wait to see you all! Love, J

Happy year being 6 Peter! Maddie wanted to know what the party would have been like if she came!!! Looks like it was a blast! Our girls are huge fans of the Dibs too!

And thanks for the birthday greetings here too! ;<)
