Augle Family: Grace Turns 4

I was going to wait until Grace's doctor visit to give an update but who knows when I will get around to typing so here are a few pictures of her birthday party. We had it at jump zone close to our house and then went out for pizza with both families. Paul's extended family still wants to do birthdays so this is what sparked this post-party. My side just included Amy and fam, Scott and fam, and Papa Dave.

Jump zone was great. It was a quick party and of course I stressed for weeks on whether or not we should have dinner but we ended up just doing snacks and cake and it was perfect. A few highlights from the party.

-Grace loved playing with Samantha Bolt. Clearly I am not surprised since Sam can run around with the best of them and Grace is very active.

-Grace hates being the center of attention and for the fourth year in a row refused to blow out her candle. Hilarious. Charlotte ended up blowing out Grace's candle. We sang twice... once with Michael sitting next to Grace and once with Sam sitting next to Grace. I think Papa Dave got this on video however I have yet to see it.

-Aunt Amy cracks me up and was seriously flying across the bouncy dinosaur pit. It was hysterical. I wish I had this on video. I have never seen her do this before and clearly if you can imagine a 33 year old who is as small as the kids, then you would understand why this is so hilarious. Of course the kids loved it too. Papa Dave was also in the jumpy pit and even asked me beforehand if wearing shorts would work with the slides. I told him the adults wouldn't be in the jumpy things... clearly I was wrong. Hahahaha. Here are some pics and hopefully I get around to posting some stats and Grace updates tomorrow after her appointment.

I love Grace's hair here. It's the before picture. Her pretty hair wasn't going to last long at the jumpy place.

Grace's "Golden" birthday. She is obsessed with the number 4 and got quite upset yesterday when she realized the shirt she was wearing was a 3T. I couldn't get a Brave balloon in time so the giant gold 4 had to do. I knew she would love it.

Hard to get a good family pic these days but we tried.

The lineup... Sam, Char, Mia, and Grace about to jump off with Amy.

Julianne was a very good girl and slept in the bjorn the whole party. Of course she was up during the pizza part but it still worked out to my benefit.

Grace was hiding behind Michael during her cake singing. Hilarious.

Daddy's girls!

Grace wanted a Brave cake because originally she wanted a Madagascar cake but I couldn't find any party supplies. We went through all of the aisles of the party store and she didn't want any of them. That included Tangled and Cinderella. We then went to Walmart to see if they had Madagascar stuff and when Grace saw Brave she got all excited and said she wanted a Brave cake instead. Hence, the theme.

Singing "take two." We thought it Samantha helped Grace she wouldn't be shy and would blow out the candle.

We were wrong. Hahahaha.

So we had to have Char-Char do it. She's not shy at all!

Meghan and Seamus (Charlotte's future boyfriend!)

Some of Grace's friends. Amelia, Ruth, Charlotte, Samantha, and Grace!

The rest of these pictures are from the restaurant after Jump Zone. We basically had the restaurant to ourselves and the kids entertained themselves in the hallway by the bathroom. They played red light green light amongst other games.
