Fabulous 5th Birthday!

Talk about a wonderful, awesome night!  Last night was Lucas Caden's 5th birthday party at the Monkey House Bounce.  We got there around 6 and my parents and Gene and Pat (the kids' honorary other grandparents aka our former neighbors) were already there.  So we started getting everything set up and then I looked out toward the bouncers and saw my dad hugging someone.  From the back of her head it sure looked like Jess, but she isn't supposed to be home til after the first of the year.  Well...

 We were so excited and overwhelmed with joy!!  Jered and Jenn had known for quite some time but managed to keep it a secret, which is huge for Jenn. 

Around 6 the partiers started playing on the bouncers, and it was an absolute blast.  How do I know??  Well, because I got right in there with them and went on all of them.  Hey, why not?  Some of them were pretty big so Cash wanted me to help him go through them, and then I couldn't stop!  Camryn had a great time, too.  They have a play area there for little kids and she and Rob played there all night.

Yes, Cash got something too. 

Birthday King :)

This morning he decided to become Bumblebee and shoot me :)

The birthday party was so much fun!  I think all of the parents and children really enjoyed it, and I know my kids did....especially the birthday boy.  He made out like a bandit!  Thanks so much to everyone who came!
