Sydney's birthday party!

On Sunday we celebrated Sydney's birthday with eleven of her friends at Pump It Up! All the kids had a blast, it was great. They were all off and running around, and there wasn't a bored kid in the house. Even the parents had a great time! After jumping and bouncing for a little over an hour, we went to the party room and enjoyed cupcakes and ice cream and opened gifts. Sydney had a blast, and has been telling us, "I thwee now!" along with, "Let's go play with all my new toys" ever since. The girl made out like a bandit-she scored in the Dora and really cool toy and book department. Nice work Sydney!

Here are the pictures...

So excited to be at Pump It Up!
Oh boy-besides the fact that my child spent all by five minutes on the slide, she jumped off after each slide and landed on her bottom on the mat below. My tailbone hurt just watching it, but apparently it didn't bother her a bit.

Even Mam-o went down the slide...twice!

I just love it when Sydney puts her hands in her pockets, it cracks me up. Here she is with Jackson and cousin Jared.

The kids all lined up, waiting to watch their gift being opened.
I am sure I have mentioned Sydney's love affair with Blue Puppy-a toy Cole gave to Sydney because she played with it every time at Cole's house, and Cole wasn't that into him. Well Cole gave Sydney Green Bear-Blue Puppy's brother. Oh wowzers, Sydney is in love! She walks around with her two "buddies" as she calls them non-stop.
More Dora puts a smile on my kid's face!

We opened up more presents at home. Here's Sydney opening up a present from auntie Alisa. If you ask Sydney what her cards say, she reads it and says, "Happy Birthday dear Sydney."
We bought Sydney a Dora digital camera. Yes, it is possible that Dora merchandise hit an all time sales record after this birthday party.
Trying out the new birthday stuff!
Wrapping up the big day by playing a little Xbox with daddy. I think Sydney drove better at Project Gotham Racing than most adults-she's a natural! Must be the chef hat.

What a great day! We had a blast. It was fun seeing all her friends and getting all the kiddos together. Sydney's already talking about her next birthday...oh boy.
