Charlotte's 3rd Birthday - January 22nd, 2011


Celebrate classmate Charlotte's birthday at Webster's . . .

Jump N' Jungle w/bounce houses then cake & pizza party

Erin wants to see the ball bounce in the house

Daddy & Erin together watch other things bounce

Erin has two balls to bounce in the house now

Momma takes Erin to the top of the double slide house

The come down the long turning slide

You need a little self propellent other than gravity

Erin starts to understand what a bounce house is for

Momma, can do it myself, let me give it a try

Momma brings Erin down on the fast slide

Alex comes down the fast slide on her own

Gravity assist eventually can't override the friction

Erin leads the way and gets to choose her slide

Erin takes the longer slide on her belly, feet first

Alex runs down the slide and plops down for a bounce

Tough climb for Alex in the obstacle course bounce house

Success is rewarded with a face first dive down

I like the fast paced face first dive!

Erin gives the climb a shot, it is hard!

Momma helps her up and discovers it's not easy w/socks on

Ready, let's go down together, Erin!

Wow, that was fun, let's do it again!

Alex catches her breath before climbing the rungs again

Time to assemble for a group photo!

Hoping for an 80% face the camera and 50% smile rate

Check out the princess theme birthday cake

Alex left the scene but Erin faces the camera.   Birthday girls older sister makes the group photo memorable

The party room is readied and the kids prepare to enter

All sit down at the table for Little Ceasars & Capri-Sun

Momma helps Erin eat while Alex works on a slice herself

Charlotte enjoys a slice with big sister & Alex to the left

Time to light the candles and sing Happy Birthday

With a big puff a wind, the candles go out

Erin offers the services of her concentrated wind device

Even Daddy gets a slice of cake!

Gotta watch the girls & check for extra pizza

Erin & Alex sit together and enjoy their cake

What a well behaved group of kids!

Alex & Erin focus on the icing only, another slice please

Charlotte is done with the cake, let's open some presents!

The kids gather as Charlotte digs into her gifts

She finally gets to the big gift from Alex & Erin

Her daddy helps hold it while she tears into the wrapping

She finds a pair of pony purses and princess sippy cups

Awesome!   Alex & Erin are invited next year!

After the party, the girls dress up for a family portrait

Practice smiling for the church photo album
