Grace's 5th birthday party!!!

Wow - I can not believe Grace is FIVE. Seems like just yesterday! Okay so the big party was today, and let me tell you like 6 minutes into it I thought it had been going on for HOURS! Luckily that wore off and the kids seemed to calm down some, either that or my nerves were so frazzled I didn't notice any more:-) We had the jumpy house set up in the basement, w/ all of Grace's dress-up clothes down there too. Cake, ice cream, drinks, down there too! The kids were all in the jumpy house - Matt tried to enforce the "3 person rule" but it didn't work out so well. Eva would get in the house and didn't even need to jump, she was so little compared to everyone else she was knocked about - no jumping required!

The girls went from dressing up to jumping, randomly having to tell one of them to wear some clothing. The took a brief break to eat cake and ice cream - who would have know they would all of such strong opinions on what part of the cake they got - wow! After cake, back to jumping and then a brief pause for opening presents. Grace was very good about saying thank you, etc... I was proud of her:-)

Then back to dress-up and "Rocking Out to Hannah Montana" and before I knew it 3:00 p.m. had rolled around and in came parents -- yeah! Another year to go before we have to do it again:-) Oh I should say another year before we GET to do it again, right;-) For now I'm happy keeping her little as long as I can!
