Birthday Party Play Time!

Amelia's birthday party was at The Little Gym.  She's been taking classes there since she was 4 months old and enjoys herself, so we thought it would be the best place for her party.  We invited our weekly playgroup and a few close friends with kids.  We had 14 kids at the party and we had a lot of fun.  It was hard not to invite the children from our other mommy/baby groups, but the guest list would have been out of control :(

The kiddos got the whole gym to themselves.  They were free to play and run around and then we had games and activities every 10 minutes or so.  We sang songs, played with the parachute, blew bubbles, kicked and threw around balls, banged on sticks, and the grand finale was the bouncy pad.  It was perfect for the age group!  It worked out really well and I know the kids had fun!

We all lifted her up and sang her happy birthday.  It was awesome.  This was the only time she cried during the entire party, but it only lasted for a few seconds.  Once we all started singing, she was happy again.
