Ryan's birthday party isn't until Monday, and so we wanted to do something fun today! My mom is amazing and invited Ryan and all his cousins to Jungle Jims for his birthday! They had so much fun! Kendall was so cute and loved going on all the rides. She even went on the roller coster with me! They also had fun playing the arcade games. We earned enough tickets for the kids to pick a few things and the prize counter. Thanks, Momma, for making Ryan's birthday so much fun!

Kendall and Claire's 2nd Birthday!

On Saturday we had a cute birthday party for Kendall and Claire. It's so fun that they are the same age! We had Kami from Kozy Creations come and do the party. The kids loved it and such a fun time. They each got to pick, stuff, and dress their own animal. They played games outside and then we came in and opened presents and ate pizza. It was fun!
