4th Birthday Party!

We celebrated Rena's 4th birthday with a party at Jump N Jungle the following Saturday after her birthday. Rena loves bouncy houses and decided a long time ago that she wanted her party here. We had a good turnout with 18 kids and Rena had a great time playing with all her friends. There were a lot of school friends there and some of our close friends as well! The kids jumped and played for over an hour and then we all headed to the party room for lunch. We had pizza, cake, cupcakes for the kids, ice cream cups, and drinks. We gave out Minnie favor bags and books and they were a big hit. And Mommy decorated homemade Minnie sugar cookies which turned out really cute! Nani was a big help in getting everything ready for the party...we're so glad she was here for a week! And Nana flew in town for the weekend and we're so glad they could be there for Rena's birthday party. Party #4 is in the books and was a great success! :)


All ready for her birthday party! She wore the same tutu skirt from last year since it still fit :)

Being silly for pictures. She was restless and ready to get to her party that morning!


Making a Barbie puzzle that Nani got her

We got to the party early to set up so we took some family pics

Daddy taking Rena up the big slide...she's still scared to go down on her own!

Coming down fast!

Taking a little break!


Playing games with Charlotte

Jumping fun with her school friend Patrick
We tried to get a group pic but it was hard with 18 kiddos- some aren't pictured here. Rena's friend Naomi's mommy sent us this pic!

Rena kept saying she was hungry and ready to eat pizza!

The beautiful and yummy cake made by my very talented friend Missy with Sugar Boo Sweets. Rena's friend Maddie had a similar cake for her birthday celebration at Disney and Rena fell in love with her cake!

Checking out the cake and other goodies!
Another picture taken by Naomi's mom!


Rena loved the Minnie and Daisy napkins and plates...and her pepperoni pizza!

All the kiddos eating away!

Singing Happy Birthday- she always gets shy! :)

4 candles for the big girl!

She wanted Mommy and Daddy to help her blow them out


Multi-tasking with a cupcake and ice cream :)

She changed clothes at home and was ready to open presents!

She was so excited to get another Lalaloopsy doll from her friend Layla! Rena got so many fun toys...a new princess comforter, fun games, My Little Pony stuff, Rapunzel toys, gift cards, a big girl bike, and more. She is one lucky (and spoiled!) four year old! Thanks to all our friends and family for the generous gifts!

The Minnie cookies that Mommy and Nani made for the favor bags. They were a lot of work but came out very cute and tasted delicious!
