weekend pics, part 1 (birthday party)

the big event this weekend was kai's birthday party.  kai woke up full of anticipation for 11:30am to roll around.  we decorated the front yawn with blankets, balloons, streamers, flowers.  we brought out chairs and tables and then waited for the 5-8 year olds to show up for some fun.  and indeed the celebration was fun watching boys and girls do their thing, to be free and happy just running about, skipping, kicking a ball. 

cake, macaroons, pinata, friends, toonies for spending and charity, a soccer game that the kids ruled (and the adults did not), trampoline, and castle play!  kai got it all!  there is nothing better than seeing kai full of happiness. 

ollie was the jumping rope master

 

 

the adults score a few goals

the kids score many more goals than the adults

adults vs kids = the kids are the champion

 

 

    

     

     

    
 
 

   

 

 
 

  

the pinata... despite the little ones attention given to the pinata, it actually died at the hands of stefan, i think pinata smashing gave him major satisfaction.
