Jam Packed Saturday

Saturday was pretty exhausting. Ally and I attended 2 birthday parties (she was invited to a 3rd one),  sugar skull decorating at school and ballet class. We were pretty tired by dinner time.

But it was a lot of fun.

Catalina, Ally & Becker getting started on their skulls.

Eric, little brother of Alejandro, Alejandro, Ally and Becker with their skulls.

Ally and I were wearing blue shirts – funny how that happens sometimes. We had fun decorating the skulls. This year Ally even helped the art teach, Sra. Garcia make the skulls before school.

We went to ballet, stopped at home for a quick lunch and then headed to party #1:

Ally wrote her card in the car on the way there, it was at a trampoline place about 30 minutes away.

Stella had mostly friends from her school there, and a friend for her little sister Violet. But Ally had a blast. She and Stella have been friends for 5 years now! The picture of the girls on the right is from 4 years ago when Stella had her 4th Birthday party at the bowling alley.

Then to the sea of trampolines Ally even jumped off the wall a few times. That is Violet in the pink dress and her friend Emiliano in the red shirt and brown shorts.

Then the girls went to the basketball hoop. Each girls is in her own compartment which has a trampoline base and wind blowing inside. You throw the ball into a hoop in the other side.  Ally and Stella played for a while.

Then it was back to the ball pit.

Stella got brave enough to do flips!

Shannon, Stella’s mom makes amazing cakes, this year the theme was Frozen and this is an ice palace cake. Ally and I left before the cake was cut to go to a 2nd party, but she jumped with Stella the whole time, and stayed for pizza and juice.

Then it was on to party #2

Clemens is a friend from school, and lots of Ally’s class mates were there. We missed most of the jumping – this party was at a bouncy-house place, where Ally is having a big party for her birthday next month.

Later that night – sleeping, on a mattress on the floor next to Cloey. Cloey was still recovery from surgery, so she couldn’t be on the bed, and Ally wanted to be close to her.
