Then, Mother Nature laughed.
It snowed, snowed, snowed, rained, snowed, rained, snowed, you get the idea. As if I didn't get the message that Mother Nature was trying to send me on Friday, there were Flash Flood warnings before her Saturday party.
Needless to say, I canceled the pavilion reservation and moved the 75-person party to our house. That's right, 75 people. Our Nora sure is loved. Her Mommy was not very prepared. The cake was set to serve 30 and my house was not ready. But, thanks to my awesome family and sweet neighbors, the house was quickly set up for the party.
I was worried that the party would be "boring" since it wasn't at a park. We solved that by setting up last year's ball pit in the den, booking a balloon animal guy and buying an indoor slide. The kids had so much fun!
Drinks
Kites were the party favor, which would have been adorable at the park;)
Being a toddler, Nora LOVES to snack, so we had all her favorite snacks.
The cake that was supposed to serve 30 somehow stretched to serve the whole crowd!
Side view of the slide and tree theme cake - again, would have been perfect for the playground!
James was so happy at the party. His party favor? Pink eye!
Nora wanted Emma and I to take her outside to see the balloons.
Magic Mr. Nick, balloon animal expert. He was great considering how much the kids were climbing all over him.
Lila demonstrating something to Mr. Nick
Harlan, Emma and Lila watching with fascination.
Emily proudly showing off her new balloon animal to Steven and Daniel.
I think Emma had Mr. Nick make her quite a few animals;)
Preston trying to taste test the cake;)
I think Nora was a little overwhelmed.
Nora, Eli and her Uncle Clint
Eli and Megan
Our girl is a leftie!
Eli loves snacks just like his cousin:)
Eli patiently waited until the end of the party for an animal.
Cutie pie.
Nora's favorite part of the day was her new slide. When we rolled up her pants she could go a lot faster:)
Emma proving that you can never be too old for a slide.
