The party

We celebrated Nolan’s birthday (with extended family & friends) a week later than his actual birthday.  His request was to have a balloon pit, similar to the one Jake made for New Year’s Eve.  He was happy to oblige, with a minor change in location.  We assembled our indoor play yard fence in the porch and let the balloon blowing begin.  Thanks to the air compressor, Jake, Uncle Tony, Nolan and Lincoln quickly filled the oval shaped pit with over 100 balloons and beach balls.

I took the easy way out this year and purchased a birthday cake from the grocery store.  Nolan picked out WALL-E for the decorative picture.  Hopefully next year I’ll feel up to putting together another homemade creation for his celebration.

The kids who joined in the fun seemed to really enjoy themselves – even the babies took part in the action 🙂  After all, who can resist that many balloons?!?
