Last Saturday we had both families over at our house for a barbeque and kickball game. A little bit of a poor showing from the Burton side...but we still had a blast. That morning as Matt and I were getting the yard ready, we noticed not one, not two, but THREE bounce houses out in our park. Turns out it was our next door neighbor's daughter's 6th birthday and they definitely throw a better party than us! They had the bounce houses, tons of food, a pony, a magician, and very cute party favors. And the best part is, Eliza got an invite. She had such a good time and still hasn't stopped talking about it. The only downside to this (besides the total upstaging of our party) was that even though their party ended by the time ours began, the bounce houses were still up so it was torture for the kids in our family to stay out of them. Our neighbors were very generous though and let the kids jump for a little while before they took them down.
Anyway, back to the McCann's shindig. Matt manned the grill to cook everyone's steak and it was delicious! We had fruit, rolls, chips, cookies...you know, the usual cookout spread. Matt had some games like "Guess the number of Skittles"and "How many people has Jack Bauer Killed?" to try and win amazing prizes. It was great.
I sat out from kickball but it looked like fun. Couldn't tell you who won but everyone was good sports and I hope all the children were very tired afterwards.
Thanks to everyone who came and helped make our party so much fun! Not "bounce house and pony fun", but still a good time! In case you're wondering, Jackson was being put to bed by grandpa during picture time so we don't have any of him. He had great time too!
