BIG Milestone Yesterday!

We had a very big and exciting day yesterday. We celebrated the kids' 5th birthday with a big party and all of their friends from the neighborhood and school came. This was the first birthday party with people other than family that we've had for them and they were beside themselves with anticipation leading up to the big day. I was so happy to be able to give my kids the memories of an exciting 5th birthday party. Pap Pap was the official photographer and Uncle Mike was the videographer. The big attraction was a jumper and then we decorated our own party hats and had a water balloon fight. For lunch we ate pizza and salad and the birthday cake for dessert had chocolate mousse filling and sweet icing (not the whip cream stuff) on top. Special guests included Mrs. Janet and Ms. Alison, our wonderful teachers from school. What a fantastic and memorable day...

Really beautiful for all of you Beth.
I'm sure that joy just radiated throughout from their hearts to yours and suspended thoughts of your preceding day for awhile.
Your preceding day leaves me speechless and right-fully so. There is only God. With Much love to all.

Hi Jenkins Family,
What a fantastic 5th birthday for three fantastic kids!!! I love the pictures and look at all those friends you have. Just wanted to take a big bite out of that beautiful cake, what a great idea with the names on the individual ballons, so cute. Sure wish we could have been there to celebrate your Milestone Birthday. Five is a very special number you know. You all look like you're having such a great time. So glad Me-Mom and Lauren are there to enjoy your happy day! Love to all, Your Arizona Family
