The First of the Birthday Parties

It's birthday party season here in Houston, and while it keeps us busy, it's a heck of a lot of fun!  On April 10th, we attended Samara's friend Marshall's birthday party at Wonderwild in the Heights, an indoor playground with a big bouncy area, climbing structure, and lots of toys.  The kids had a great time crawling around, bouncing on the "Jumpoline," and climbing around in the big play house.  However, I think the biggest hit of the party was the ball pit.  Samara, Marshall, and the rest of the kiddos had a blast just sitting in the balls and kicking them around.

Of course, Marshall enjoyed some delicious homemade mini cupcakes, made especially for him by his mommy, Amy (which we enjoyed as much or more than the babies!).  We also gave Marshall one of our new favorite books, in the Mini House/Mini Wheels Book Collection by Peter Lippman.  We bought six of these cute little books, and loved them so much that Samara is getting the Enchanted Castle one for her birthday!  (Sorry, the surprise is out - not that she'll care!)

Here is my slideshow of the party, along with Amy's slideshow below:

We'll get back to you with photos from the next birthday party (Beckett's) after this weekend, and then the big group bash for Samara, Walker, Juliana, and Andrew is on the 8th!
