B's 5th B-day party

Brandon requested to have his birthday party at the house and wanted Wall-E for the theme (again).  It was a lot harder to find Wall-E items this year, but thanks to Amazon for always having what I need!!!!
It was a beautiful January day, unseasonably warm, but great weather for an outdoor party!  We invited our usual friends and family but also included his preschool class this year...to add to Momma's stress. 
The party was a success, I know this as Brandon kept saying, "Best. Day. Ever".  And with the potential of 15 kids under the age of 10 we decided to rent a bouncy castle and the kiddos all loved it.
Per Brandon's request, we also had a craft station (although I don't think he left the bouncy castle except to get a drink of water and eat cupcakes) and a pinata.
It was a great day and Brandon (and all the kids) had a great time!  Thanks to all.....

Happy 5th Birthday Brandon!!!!!

 Brandon started his morning by getting to open his gifts from Aunt Gail and Grandma Diane! 

 Next, a trip to the zoo!

 followed by dinner at The California Pizza Kitchen with Grandma Diane

Daddy got Brandon a special gift, his very own glove and balls...we are preparing for tee ball after all

and finally opening gifts at home!  His was thrilled to find that we had gotten him Snap Circuits!!!! 

Soakin up the sun...

It stopped working so Mason decided to inspect the battery for himself! 

Warm winter days are why we live in the dessert!  The boys and I have been soaking up the dessert sunshine while it seems the rest of country has been cold and snowy.
