Happy 5th Birthday SPL!

Happy 5th Birthday SPL!
SPL turned 5 on July 13 and we celebrated with TX grandparents, friends, and Beth's family.  This year we won a birthday party through SPL's preschool auction so we had a bigger scale party than we usually do.  This one was at a local indoor sports complex that also houses giant inflatable bounce houses, obstacle courses and fields to play dodgeballand soccer. Since we have a mixed age group(2.5-11 years old), we have a challenge every year finding appropriate activities for all to participate. Even John (whose shoulder was in a sling from his arthroscopic surgery 3 weeks prior) was actively participating in dodgeball! SPL loves the Toy Story movies so chose that as his theme and thanks to all his grandparents and some friends, he received most of the new Lego Toy Story 3 sets. Here he is getting ready to blow out hisBuzz Lightyear candle Thank you Nanfor the garbage truck, Lotso, and Twitch (his favorite new character from the movie)! Thank you TX Grandparents for the train, mine, and sheriff's jail! Thank you Grandee and Nana Dana for the Pizza Planet truck! Here's a video of SPL's 8 year old twin cousins trying out their new found flipping ability! Many thanks especially for sharing your time with us to celebrate SPL's 5th birthday!  We have wonderful friends & family and we enjoy the time we share with you.
