On Saturday we celebrated Kennedy's birthday with her Dallas friends at a Gymboree party. We kept the Farmyard Fun theme from ABQ and her two favorite teachers at Gymboree created a little pretend farm for all the kids. Since we spend so much time playing there during the week, it just made sense to have her party there. From a kid perspective - they loved it. They got to run wild, pretend they were animals, pop bubbles and have cupcakes. The kids were completely worn out by the time they left, which made all the parents happy as well.
Kennedy got a little overwhelmed at times with the attention, and we learned she does not like people singing Happy Birthday to her. Not even a little bit. But she got over it quickly when she saw her mini cupcake. We waited until we got home to open her gifts and she had fun going through each package. We have lots of fun new toys and someone has been waking up extra early to play with all her new things.
We went to our Gymboree class today and Kennedy was more excited than usual to leave. You have to understand, its usually a bit of a battle to get out of there. But today she couldn't wait. When it was her turn to get a stamp on her hand I found out the reason for her excitement. She thought she would leave with a bunch of presents. Just like at her party.
