Birthday Party

Yesterday I took Peyton to his first birthday party for a friend. It was for Olivia, a girl in his daycare class. The party was at Pump It Up. There were four large inflatable structures for the kids to play on. There was a giant slide, an obstacle course, a basketball court, and another bounce house with a smaller slide inside. Also, there were hula hoops and bouncy balls out on the floor for the kids to play with. Peyton had a blast at the party. The first hour was spent playing in the activity room. The entire space was just for Olivia's party, so there were no other people there except for those attending her party, which was nice. I took a ton of pictures (like usual!)

After an hour, the kids moved into the party room. The pizza for lunch had not arrived yet, so they tried to have the kids play limbo. However, none of the kids knew what limbo was and no one bothered to try to explain it to them. So the kids were sort of just walking around the room (under the stick occasionally) all dazed and confused. Since that was a bust, they set up a table for the kids to color a picture. Here's Peyton and his BFF Levi. They are only 2 weeks apart in age, so they've been in the same class forever. (I can't even stand that he still uses a pacifier. He's 2 1/2 for goodness sakes...)

Peyton's picture was lovely. It doesn't look like he colored it, but I think the color just doesn't show up in the picture very well.

Turns out there was a problem with the pizza order, so it never came, so the kids had potato chips, party mix, yogurt and cake for lunch. I don't think they exactly minded. The theme of the party was obviously Dora. Peyton was ready to party.

Peyton was excited to sing Happy Birthday, like usual. And I think he enjoyed the cake - or at least the icing!

I didn't want to put any pictures up of Olivia because I didn't get permission from her mom or anything. But, she opened her presents next. Peyton gave her a game, which she seemed to like. Her favorite gift though was a toy vacuum which she didn't want to let go of after she opened it. She only opened those two gifts, and was saving the rest to open at home.

Here's Peyton opening his goody bag.

We left then because the party was over. We stopped at Chick-Fil-A on the way home to get some lunch because we were both hungry. Peyton had a fun time jumping and playing with his friends at Olivia's birthday party.
