party girl

Lots to do this morning!  We had Kjella's party today since the clubhouse was booked last weekend.  I made the reservation last month but wasn't able to get a hold of the woman in charge of renting it this week to get the key.  When I got home from work last night I frantically cleaned the house envisioning having to have everyone jammed into our condo.  Thankfully I got a phone call this morning to meet up and get the key, that would have been a packed house!

It was nice to see friends we haven't seen in a while.  Despite the snow everyone was able to make it!

 Avery is such a good big sister.

 All week we've been talking about her party and I was a little worried that Kjella might not be that into it.  She helped me make the party bags and when I told her they were for her friends she told me "no big party, we stay home".  But I could not have been more wrong, she was in the best mood and had so much fun.  Theses kids did so much running!  You could hear pounding feet and out of breath toddlers the whole time.

 Avery helping Kjella open her presents.  And yes Kjella is barefoot, she kicked her boots off before anyone even arrived, I'm just happy she kept her clothes on!

 She received so many great gifts.  And true to kid form was totally disappointed when she pulled clothes out of a bag!

 After blowing out her candles about 8 times (she let her friends have turns too) and letting us sing to her we cut into the cake.  My brother picked it up on his way over, best part about having him living in Ballard is delicious deliveries from Larsen's!

 Safeguarding B's cake, she was totally serious about it.

 Just like last year my parents stayed and helped clean everything up.  Poor John got stuck carrying everything back up the 3 flights of stairs. 

Kjella went up with John and was passed out by the time we got upstairs and after my parents left I joined her.  All that fun wore us out.
