the puppy paw-ty...

this is the year for combined birthday parties at the bowlin house and i am loving every minute of it! :0) for jack's 2nd birthday we decided to celebrate with one of his best little friends mckenzie. since mari (kenzie's mom) and i are great friends, jack and kenzie are great friends, they basically have the exact same birthday, they have several of the same friends, and they both take little gym together we decided it was the PERFECT choice to have the party together and have it at the little gym. so here is the celebration in a nutshell...

the best place ever to have a birthday party....

seriously the staff is amazing and the kids loved every minute of the party!

***controlled chaos- kids running around, giant parachute, bubbles, music, climbing, jingle bells, and even some crazy man-powered rides! followed by everyone singing happy birthday and jack and kenzie blowing out their candles.***

some family time, pizza and opening gifts back at nana and gramps house...

jack loved all his gifts. he had a very toy story themed birthday. he loves toy story!! here he is with "slink" the slinky hot dog dog- one of his many favs from the movie.

one happy little birthday boy who felt so loved and so special on this very exhausting and fun day!!! :)

i think this picture represents jack's day perfectly- a little bit tired, sporting his dog bone tee, with his woody hat on, and his baseball glove and ball in hand.
