Happy Thanksgiving

We had a nice day!  It went way too fast for sure. 

 

After dinner with family and a VERY thankful heart we took some pictures!

 

 

 

 

 

Mikayla and Papa!  I love these pictures.

Then some FUN in the yard.

 

 

 

 

It took Mikayla quite awhile to gather enough leaves to throw.... but if she had waited about 3 days there would be plenty of them.  HA but she had fun playing!

 

Birthday Party

Mikayla wanted to have her birthday party at a gymnastics gym - they did an AMAZING job, the kid that was our group leader was AMAZING with the kiddos.

 

WOO HOO Mikayla all but did flips for her birthday!!

 

 

 

Here are Mikayla and her "cousins" we have morphed into family and I love it!!!

 

 

One of the many foam pits!  The kids had a total blast and were totally exhausted and sweaty by the end of the party!

 

 

 

 

 

 

in the pictures below, the kids were racing under the balance beams.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The trampolines rocked!!  I wish that the adults could have gone on them :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The castle area was awesome!!!!  rock wall, slides, hiding spots, foam pits - AMAZING!

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

Present time!!  I love that kids love any kind of presents even if they're not theirs!

 

 

 

 

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR MAKING IT SO SPECIAL!!

 

Mikayla's Birthday Day

Well I know I thoroughly enjoyed Mikayla's birthday - I'm pretty certain she did too!!  She started her day with fun candle lit pancakes....  she LOVED the birthday song at 6:30 am....

 

 

 

 

Then I was able to go have lunch with her at school, one of her friends sat with us too!

 

 

Then we had an amazing dinner at California Pizza Kitchen and back home for presents.

 

 

 

 

Then cake time, the only thing she requested was a pinata cake.

 

Silly girl!! 

 

 

She gets the cutest expression on her face when she's being sung the Happy Birthday Song, I love it.

 

 

Serious business, making a wish takes total concentration, she wouldn't tell me what she wished for.

 

 

 

Of course she got her cake wish.  :)

 

 

 

 

 

What a GREAT day!!!!!!  I love love love celebrating Mikayla's birthday.
