Going Wild for Presley's 4th Birthday!



Presley's 4th birthday party was a jungle safari theme this year.  She absolutely loves animals and I knew this would be the perfect birthday party for our little wild child!



I had the hardest time finding a place to have her party.  She has so many friends and we need a big place to have them all, but I can't do the giant parties at our house anymore.  It's so much work and the clean-up requires way more time than I have.  After looking for months online, I finally found the perfect birthday party venue...Riverbend Centre!  You rent out the entire facility (so there are no other parties going on at the same time) and the kids can just run...well, wild!!!




They also played a slide show of all our favorite pictures of Pres since she was born.  It's hard to see the one on the screen, but it's me meeting my sweet little Presley for the very first time.

Little man Becks tried so hard to get a cupcake!!!






The entry way to her party room had a huge indoor playscape.  Presley must have gone up and down that thing about a thousand times!

Presley loves a good bouncy house, so we rented one of those too.

And what's better than a bouncy house?  
A bouncy house with a slide!!!


Beckett went in the bouncy house a few times, but for the most part, just wanted to run around!  Occasionally he would get up on the stage and dance.


Dance party!

Finally it was time to sing Happy Birthday to our four year old safari princess and dig into those amazing cupcakes!






Becks was beyond thrilled to finally get his hands on one too!



As our guests were leaving, they got to take home Presley's favorite chunky monkey bread!





Happy birthday, pretty girl!

Super Star Presley




 
 Our little 2024 Olympic hopeful had her gymnastics showcase last month.  It was so awesome to see all that she has learned.

 I think the bars might just be her event!


 Sweet girl patiently listening to her coach give directions.
  I think out of all the training she's received over the last 3 years, this was the hardest to get right.


 She loves the trampoline!

So proud of our little gymnast.  Way to go, Pres!!!
