Adriana's Birthday Party

I can't believe it has come and gone already. All this planning, for Adriana's Birthday party, and before you know it, its over. We had a good time though. We were so excited that Ryan's family could make the LONG journey from Alabama to come to her party. Adriana didn't know what to think about it all. She had fun with all her cousins and little friends here to play with. When it was time to open the gifts, she was very neat and tidy with the whole process. She would tare off one piece at a time and throw each piece away each time. It was a lengthy process to say the least. All the other kids there were dying to help her just tare into them. All in all, it was a good time.

Singing Happy Birthday to Adriana, She just looked

at us like we were crazy.

Enjoying her cake.

Sorry this picture is turned wrong.

This is the stool that Ryan's family made

from scratch for Adriana to match her room.

She loves this stool and totes around everywhere.

A gift from the heart is better than anything money

can buy.

For her birthday cake, I ended up making a big cupcake. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, but I must say, it turned out better than I thought. Here are some pictures of her big cupcake.

Before

After

After the party we let the kids (Adriana and her cousins, Jack and Riley) take naps, and then we took them to Jump Mania. Its an indoor inflatable park. They had a blast! By the time we ate dinner and got there, they didn't have a whole lot of time to play, but they still were able to burn about an hours worth of energy off. We had a great time with them here, even though it was a short trip for them. We look forward to seeing Ryan's family again soon, hopefully.
