Birthday bonanza!

Last Saturday was an exciting birthday party day. We had the privilege of attending three parties! Unfortunately, they overlapped in time so we divided and conquered.

Emily and I went to Abby's party at Pump It Up. Emily had a blast and I'm just happy we left in one piece :) (see videos below!)

The birthday girl

She eventually got the hang of it!

Our next party was at the West End and we had an hour between the parties so Emily and I grabbed some lunch at Crave. It was a fun, impromptu lunch date with my favorite preschooler! Side note: I highly recommend their chicken salad...bacon, avocado, sliced cashews, need I say more???

From there, Emily went to a much more low key, but just as fun, birthday party at Creative Kidstuff. The kids made masks and capes and played games. It was the first time I've dropped Emily off for a birthday party but the parents say it all went well and the kids were having a great time when we arrived to pick them up! You might be wondering what parents of preschoolers do with an hour of down time while their kids are at a birthday party. Happy hour. We do happy hour :)

While Emily and I were touring the city for kid parties, Patrick and Aubrey were celebrating his sisters' birthday with brunch. They had a nice time as well - even though Emily and I weren't there. Weird.

The next two weeks will be business as usual while we wait for our week long trip to Izatys Resort on Lake Mille Lacs!
