Caleb's Birthday Weekend

Caleb's 4th birthday landed on a Saturday this year. We had his party at Jump For Fun which was full of huge bounce houses to play on. He picked the Viking theme from the movie "How to train a Dragon". Mostly because he liked the viking hats. He was very excited that his cousins Logan and Dylan came in for the weekend to help him celebrate.We met the rest of his friends that afternoon at his party and they ran themselves ragged going in and out of all the bounce houses. They were in and out, up and down. Trying to get pictures was a comical and complicated task.I mostly got the back of every ones head as they ran by. I hope Greg had more luck with the video camera.
Of course he used videoing as a good excuse to go into all the big bounce houses with them.
Once I even caught my good friend Kristen videoing Greg and my brother in law Mike racing through one of the obstacle course bounce houses.
So I guess everyone enjoyed the party. My sister helped entertain Lex for me so I could act as hostess.
Lex seemed to enjoy the toddler bounce house and toys, she became quite attached to Steph since she seemed to get lots of attention from her.
But I did get to sneak in a couple of cuddle times too.
We finally ended up in the party room for cake and ice cream. Caleb finally got to wear his viking hats!
Caleb felt quite special sitting in the "throne" while everyone sang Happy Birthday to him.Overall it seemed to be a successful party.
We waited to get home to open presents, which Caleb also enjoyed of course. He had his cousins to help open all the gifts and "break in the toys." One of Caleb's favorites was his knight outfit and armor.
He wouldn't take it off the rest of the day. Super cute! Unfortunately his neighbors and good friends Dax and Ace couldn't make it to the party since it was Ace's 4th birthday as well. Which meant Caleb couldn't go to Ace's party.
So we decided to celebrate with them Sunday afternoon at Chucky Cheese's. That made for a fun and tiring birthday weekend!
