Tour de birthday party.......

I know you thought the birthday festivities were over, but thankfully we had one last hurrah.....Thanks to my sweet and thoughtful husband for taking literally 100 pictures of the event so that now I can't choose between the photos and it has taken me literally all night to put most of the pictures up because they were all so good...I don't want to mention any names but somebody has taken a real interest in photography since getting the new camera...My posts are getting longer and longer as time goes by...So in a nut shell it will take you as long to look at all the pictures as it takes Lance Armstrong to ride in the tour de France.....We all come out winners though....
We had a pirate theme and a magician...I know the two don't exactly go together, but with 23 kids, I had to think of something and fast...Christopher Weed (the magician)(not to imply the use of an illegal substance)(although possibly necessary) saved the day...he did an amazing job and the kids LOVED it...Again, my adorable better half planned a treasure hunt which went over equally well...All in all, 3 hours of laughter, magic tricks, swings, cake, prizes, and a visit from PRESTO the amazing disappearing bunny, we had a great time and Jonah had a great birthday...Apologies go out to all of you who gave him a present...somehow they all got mixed up and he opened some before I had a chance to write down who they were from...I want to say a BIG thank you for your thoughtfulness....He loved every present and if you decide to comment remind me what you gave...sorry for the tackiness...

  2. Seriously you had the party for 3 hours?!?! WOW! You are one brave soul! Really it looked like a blast! The pictures are way cute. I need to remember to have a magician some time. My kids saw a magician for a preschool party and I have never seen them laugh so hard!

  4. Jonah's smirk seems as if he's in on a joke that's his own little secret. Mysterious and funny all at the same time! Nice photos Andrew! Happy Birthday to Jonah and happy anniversary for being a mom of two!
