Alexa Turns 4.....

Well, my baby is officially four. That is hard to believe. Time goes so quickly, doesn't it? Kirk finally got home from storm work Sunday and it just so happened he was off work on Monday when we had Alexa's Birthday Bash. We went to Bouncetown. You can check it out here. It really was alot of fun! (as the pictures will testify). Their party deal allows for up to 25 children and unlimited adults. They have two different "bounce rooms" and you spend about 40 minutes in each room. There were about 5 or 6 different inflatables in each room. There was a particular favorite of mine that was a basketball court and we had gotten into a game of "tackle basketball". Ever played? Didn't think so cuz I think we just made it up on the spot but basically there were two teams and who ever had the ball tried to get the ball into their basket....and pretty much that was the only rule. To get the ball, you could use any means necessary (including tackling and blunt trauma). At one point my sister, brother, and I were playing with the kiddies and let's just say we were able to come together as siblings and play the way we always wanted to as children. Trish and I ganged up on Jim and it was great fun. The three of us almost fell thru the netting at one point, but we were able to recover from that episode. After the big bounce fest, we all went to a party room for cupcakes and ice cream and watched Lex open her gifts. We then caravaned over to CiCi's Pizza for a yummy pizza buffet lunch. Fun was had by all. For having a 9:45 am party on a Monday, we really had a great turn out! Among those on Alexa's guest list were Grandma Pat, Uncle Jim, Aunt Shoosh and Uncle Corbie and Katy and Will, Auntie Pam and Ellie, our whole crew, and several close family friends (the Felicianos, the Larsons, the Ackermans, the Koenigs,Kayla, and the Masokas bunch). I think we succeeded in celebrating her birthday in a very fun (and EXHAUSTING!) way! Happy Birthday Midge! Love ya Babe!
