Happy Birthday to this girl! We are still working on getting her baptism picture done so we can send out announcements but due to some scheduling conflicts she isn't being baptized until December 21st so we have a little time!
Normally we do a luncheon for the baptism instead of a birthday party but normally the baptism is close to the birthday. Since this was not the case, we decided last minute to celebrate with a small party. So Ebony invited a friend and another friend's family to join us at iJump for an hour of fun and then we headed back to the house for dinner, cake, ice-cream, and presents.
We celebrated on a Monday cuz there was no school rather than on Tuesday when Mom and Jaedyn had mutual. So G-ma and G-pa Boyd got to celebrate with us too (they come up every Monday for piano lessons and just cuz they're awesome and like our company LOL). I got a great video of the 2 of them swing dancing while jumping! They've still got moves!
Nothing like a little Dodgeball at the trampoline park to liven up a party! They are from L to R: McKinley, Hugh, Ebony, Addy, and Reese.
Cute little posers!
After jumping we went back to the house. Ebony had requested blended fruit bowls and toast for dinner! Talk about easiest birthday dinner EVER! I was happy to oblige. They we had German Chocolate cake and Huckleberry ice cream- also per her request. I doctored the cake a bit this year with pudding and chocolate chips and it was oh so yummy with the homemade coconut walnut frosting!
Ebony got makeup from her friend.
That statement actually deserves a lot of exclamation points and terrified emojis. I'll be cleaning up some messes for sure. Already have actually!
She also got a brand new set of scriptures with a case, some kinetic putty sand, and a lego pet rescue helicopter. Jaedyn quickly volunteered to help her with that little project. She LOVES legos. She also got a stuffed monkey whoopie cushion from her grandmother and has had SO much fun with it! And some money from her other grandmother which was especially exciting this year cuz she just spent the last of her money and was excited to see the coffers fill up again. She got some pop-it fidget toys from her sisters who bought those gifts with their own money. I love seeing the girls being excited to give and do it all on their own. It's reassuring that amidst the chaos and sister drama, there is affection... albeit buried deep at times. 😂
