Lauren's Birthday Party

Saturday was Lauren's birthday party at Leo's Place (like Chuck E. Cheese) in Idaho Falls. She invited 7 girls and 5 actually came. Between the car and the truck, we were able to fit everyone in with seat belts. Lauren has been looking forward to this day for years, I think, so she was very excited. Because we had so many leftover cupcakes from the RS enrichment activity, I saved and froze 10 cupcakes for Lauren's party. It was a stroke of genius, I must say. The only mishap was that my boyfriend left the headlights on at Leo's Place, so we had to jump start the car before we left. Other than that, a very fun party. As we were waiting for all the kids to arrive, the kitty became the star of the show. The girls did all kinds of fun things with the cat, but he never ran away, he always came back for more.The indoor playground was a ton of fun for the girls. They were all sweaty and hot by the time we left.These are Lauren's little friends. Two of the girls are in 1st grade, two are in her class in 2nd grade. This is Emma's best friend, Katrina. Lauren let her come to the party, since Emma let Lauren's friend (and Katrina's sister) come to Emma's little go-to-the-movies activity on her birthday.

Lauren got some fun things for her birthday from her friends, including a baby doll from Kayla (Katrina's sister) to match the one they gave Emma on her birthday. This is me, getting some love for being the best mom ever.
