...back to bouncing!
Our little Maya turned 1! We had a great day, erik went to reserve the airport beach spot early and we took turns coming down to set up - thanks to uncle greg & kirk for their help! Maya came down just before the party and had fun in the bouncy castle, walking around, playing with the ice in the coolers, greeting all her guests and had absolutely no idea what was going on. Kalia was literally having the time of her life - we barely saw her all day, she was just going! She knew everyone there, she bounced all day and ate all sorts of goodies. Someone said they thought she looked like it was her party since she was wearing her pink tutu skirt - but then I explained that the skirt is just the uniform right now. Maya also has pretty much been totally walking since her birthday too. I attribute it to the dress that I put her in that made it almost impossible to crawl. Mom said she was very frustrated and tried many times to rip it off - but then just stood up and walked. Ever since then she's been walking!
We had so much fun at the party and really couldn't have pulled it all off with out tutu's help. She made some great salads and the most adorable mini bug (ladybug, bumble bee, dragonfly and butterfly) cakes. Uncle Greg and our neighbor Martin also helped so much. We were there until they were closing the gates and Martin, Greg, Kirk, Shelly, Karen, Alison & Deron all helped so much at the end- getting the bouncy put away and cleaning up & holding maya! We didn't want the party to end - it was so dark and they were going to lock us in. What a great day! I think all the moms were happy - there kids all should have slept well - they bounced for a long time! I know our girls crashed out. See the next post - the morning after, I'm still recovering!
