Sevyn's 2nd Birthday Party

Sevyn had her birthday today and she had such a fabulous time. We invited about 20 friends and their parents to her party at Southlake Gymnastics Academy. This is the same location that she takes gymnastics on Saturday mornings. She just loves running around, jumping on the trampolines, walking on the balance beams, and much more.


This morning Sevyn went to gymnastics like she normally does. We did this because we knew she would be exhausted and would fall asleep for a long, long time! And our plan worked perfectly. Sevyn napped for 3 hours! She woke up just in time to go to her party . . . in fact I ran out of time to feed her lunch. Oh well, she didn't seem to mind.

Here is Sevyn running down the tumble track she loved it so much! The crash landing is into the foam pit. . .


Swinging over the foam pit on a rope. Sevyn liked hanging but was stunned by the landing. I don't think she was expecting that.

Crawling through the obstacle course.

Big muscles . . . swinging from the rings.


But Sevyn's favorite thing to do is jump . . . and she is finally getting pretty good at it. It took us a long time to learn to jump with two feet.

Sevyn's cake incorporated three different characters. Her favorites Elmo, Mickey and Mary Poppins.

The big group photo was fun on Mount Southlake.

When we got home Sevyn opened up all her presents. She had so much fun playing with all her toys. Sevyn is blessed with such great family and friends!

Honestly, I thought that if you do birthday parties away from your home you wouldn't have to deal with a mess . . . boy was I wrong!



Sevyn's birthday is on the 13th, and that is when she will get her big birthday present from mommy and daddy! I can't wait to give it to her and post pics. I know she is going to LOVE it!
