The Big Finale!

Josie's birthday week ended with a big Kid's Gym Party at the YMCA. There were lots of fun activities including a rope swing onto squichy matts, a maze of tunnels and slides, a floor to celing rope wall and more squish matts, scooter things, a bounce house and of cours yummy cake, lots of presents and many of Josie's families not to mention ALL her cousins!



First order of busines, was checking out all the fun things to do and welcoming her guests as they arrived.

"I feel Happy!"




Having a hopping good time in the bounce house with cousins Nate and Emily.



Big cousin Abbie swinging around showing off for her little brother and her Dad.


Cousin Emily tooling through the maze.



Josie's friend Angeline chatting it up with Gabrielle.


Josie's friend Kai checking out all the activities.


Big Sis Gabrielle being silly.

After everyone enjoyed some playtime, it was time for Birthday cake!


By the end of the week, this was Josie's third (yes THIRD!) birthday party and she had the routine down, but still welcomed some help from her big Cousin Abbie to blow out the candles.



Everybody was all smiles when the cake was served.


Josie's friend Grace chowing down.


Little Cousin Emily was overcome with all the fun.


Next on the agenda-- PRESENTS! Oh boy! Did Josie get a lot of presents! I don't know that there is much left for Santa to bring her for Christmas!


After eating the cake and ripping through the presents, it was time for one more last blast through all the Kid Gym activities and this crowd was wasting a second! They meant business!

Josie's friend Miles holding on for dear life in the bounce house.



Look at those pigtails fly!


Josie's friend Callie crawling through the maze.


Cousin Nate in the bounce house.
I think he only came out long enough to eat a piece of birthday cake.


Josie helping her friend Angeline's Dad roll her (Angeline) in the cushy barrel.



Josie was quick to dive into her presents as soon as we got home. The top of the list, a remote controlled My Little Pony Scooter.


Josie and Gabrielle making 'pizza' with a toy from Me-ma-- another big fave!


Josie got too many toys to get through in one night. So she was hot on them first thing the next morning. Here she is playing a fishing game with Gabrielle and Wim.


Don't let Wim tell you any big tales about his fishing-- this is as big as He got!


Time for some cool down playing with the todller laptop from Grace and her Mommy Michelle.


Thanks everybody for making Josie's Birthday Party so much fun!
