Happy 1st Birthday Lillian!

You're invited to Lillie's 1st Birthday Party~
Below- Food shopping for her party.

We rented a bouncy house for her party. They dropped it off Friday evening, so we all thought we go play around in it the night before the party.

Sat. morning - we set up for the party. I got some "pin the tail on the donkey" type games, b/c I was scared it was going to rain. We got lucky though and it didn't rain. yea

On Sat. morning I asked Isabel if she was ready for her sister's party. She said yes, and told me that Lillie should get flowers. I have no clue where she got this idea from. I thought it was cute, so I ran out and got Isabel some flowers to give to Lillie for her party.

The girls ran out to play on the bouncy house before the guests arrived.

Lil tries to balance...

The kids were going wild on the bouncy house. They all wanted Pat to throw them up in the air.

For some reason, in Africa, the kids open presents after the party is over. Not sure why though. Anyways, after Is and Lil had a little nap and everyone left Lillie got to open her gifts!!

Here are a few of many of the gifts she got...

Post party play time on the bouncy house.

Relaxing time too! Ha

Then we thought we'd have some real fun....so Pat and I starting doing flips and front handsprings onto the bouncy house. It was all fun and games until - Pat hurt his back! oops!

A little more play time inside and then off to bed!!!

Isabel hit the playground too. They have "child minders" here to watch your kids and play with them while you sit and relax. Cool huh.
