We blew up the inflatable pools and gave them a little miniature water park to play in. Emerald doesn't get to play with kids outside of daycare, and I really think she enjoyed herself! They were all splashing and having a great time, throwing water at the puppies and squealing shrilly.
After a little while, they got pretty tired and cold (Gabriel just wanted to eat his bottle and go to sleep), so we moved the party inside--got dried off and dressed, and let Emerald open her presents:
Aunt Julia and Uncle Jarrod: Pink hued MegaBlocks and a Disney Princess Baton
Aunt Stella, Uncle Royce, Dominic, and Brian: a Baby doll, toy baby bath with comb, soap, rubber ducky, and other bathing baby toys.
We also got party favors for everyone: rubber bouncy balls, scented bubbles, and a monster truck for each of the boys, plus a fairy sticker book, pencil kit, and scented bubbles for Emerald.
They had such a wonderful time, and are so great at sharing and playing together!
Now, Uncle Jarrod is taking pity on tired Andie (as well as the family that dreads eating her cooking) and is making Parmesean crusted chicken and pork chops for supper! Such a wonderful family we have been blessed with! And thank goodness to the end of parties...until February!!
