Birthday Bowling!!

I have always been a fan of smaller, more intimate birthday celebrations with just family. I can concentrate on making sure my kids are having fun versus whoever I invited:) I usually do a big party on their first birthdays and then do activities that I know are my kids favorite for the years after. This year, my mom and I took Makenna and Jordyn to see Princess and the Frog at the movie theater the day before her birthday. She was so excited and since it is at the dollar theater, I didn't feel bad about taking my sometimes noisy two year old as well:) Then on her day, we took her bowling. This is her absolute favorite!! She was literally jumping up and down. Grandma and Papa and Uncle Joe were able to come as well. We missed Grandma M. but hope she is feeling better!!
Jordyn was old enough to bowl this time as well. The two sisters had a great time together!!

Bowling and Park fun

So, I'm finally getting around to posting about our fun from the week before last. That Tuesday we had gotten the go ahead for resuming play after her broken leg so we had a blast. Makenna had been begging to go bowling for awhile so I figured that would be a good treat after going through that doctor's appointment. We brought grandma along with us and we had a great time.

Miss J.J. was just chillin' in the stroller eating snacks the whole time (well until the very end;)

Our scores.....Makenna's first one was a 78 so her combined score for both games was 137! Not bad for an almost four year old;)

Makenna wasn't too happy that we had to leave. I think she would have stayed for a very long time bowling her heart out;)

Then, on Thursday, it was so beautiful outside that we took a trip to the park. I don't remember when we went to the park last but it was a long time. This time, Jordyn was old enough to have fun too.

Jordyn loved going back and forth over this bridge.

I'm not good at play dates to the park. I can't just sit and talk. I have to follow my kids around because they make me nervous. Makenna kept hanging out of this open spot on the slide that had a very big drop. I didn't like it!!

J.J. loved going down the slide.

And she was very proud of herself;)

My pretty (and very happy) little girl;)
