What a birthday! What a weekend! The festivities began Friday night at the Old Spaghetti Factory for her special family birthday dinner. It's a tradition that we have done every single year. Mom, Jay, Aunt Tonn, Aunt Kristi, Joye and Maria joined us for a fun and yummy dinner. The girls had -- guess what -- Macaronni and Cheese. No surprise at all. After dinner Audriana opened up her presents from everyone and really enjoyed this little kick-off to turning 6.
Sofia gave Audriana a singing birthday card that sang the song "You've got a Friend in Me" from the movie Toy Story. They just discovered this movie (Martin rented it from the library) and they both just love it. I need to find it on DVD for Christmas...... Anyway, Audriana carried this card around all night opening and closing it to hear the song. Very cute.

Grandma's love THE PARTY -- JUMP AND BOUNCE!
There is a very cool little place in the Spokane Valley (well, it's not that little) that we discovered last Spring. It's a huge warehouse full of huge jumping castles and slides. They even have a velcro wall that the kids can jump on and get themselves "stuck". There main business is birthday parties and you can book a 2 hour slot of time (the whole place is yours for those 2 hours) and can invite up to 12 kids. I knew that it would be a big hit for Audriana and all her friends, so I booked it a few months ago, knowing that her birthday was on a Saturday and the time slots would go fast. It was a good decision -- everyone had a blast, even the adults! The kids played for an hour and 15 minutes, then spent the next 45 minutes in the party room where they ate pizza, then cake, and then opened presents. By the time 2 hours was up, every kid had a bit of a glazed look on their faces from pure exhaustion. I'm sure they all slept well that night!
Audriana's friend, Cheyenne, traveled all the way from Bonney Lake with her Mom, Eileen, for the party. Eileen is a friend of Kristi's and the girls have been friends for most of Audriana's life. Audriana traveled over to Bonney Lake last May with Kristi to go to Cheyenn's 8th b-day party. They have a good time together.
One of the best memories of the party was watching Jay and Kristi get into spirit of the party by going down a slide together -- holding hands the whole way down until they crashed at the bottom. The picture says it all........they were good sports! I think they secretly wanted to go on a few more slides, but didn't want to throw their backs out!
Here's the wall of velcro -- the kids put on the velcro suites and then throw themselves (or get thrown) against the wall. It was hysterical and a big hit with all the kids! Alfred and Audriana spent a lot of time on this wall.
