Noah's birthday celebration day! I ran some last minute cake, ice, and ice cream picking up errands and also picked up Noah's printed portraits from the portrait studio. They came out great!





Arrived at the first party destination at 12:30 - a kids entertainment complex with jumpy houses and tunnels and an arcade. Most of Noah's pre-school class came, along with his cousins Michael, Caitlyn, and Siobhan. Noah got to spin a wheel to win a prize, and ended up with 100 extra tickets to add to his arcade winnings:



The kids filed off into the play area:



and had a great time playing:





















My cousin Linda wore the had which we both happen to own:



Then Noah and the other kids cashed in their tickets and picked prizes:



and the kids posed for a photo on the stairs (we ended up with two slightly different groups of kids somehow):





Alana sat patiently while all of the younger kids got settled:



Everybody went upstairs to have some pizza:





then Noah got to put the number "5" on his cake:



Excuse my awful singing...



After getting all of the kids back off to home and dragging out TWO garbage bags full of gifts to be brought home, we headed back to our house to meet everyone else for the party at 4:00:



The kids played in the yard for a while:







Then it was cake time:





Rosa had a bit of extra fun with her cake:



Then Noah opened his gifts:



This one was saved to open with everything else - from Bop. The picture quality on this one is awful, but it's a handmade sweater and a notebook and other little goodies:



Noah had a great time! Thank you to everyone who came to his parties. :)

He fell asleep wearing the fisherman had Tim and I got for him...it was super cute.
