Birthday Party Joy!! This last week along with all the regular things I do, I had the joy of getting everything together for Rainee's Birthday Party!!! I love to celebrate... and birthdays.... well, they are the best celebration of all... because it's all about the moment your life began... and all the everyday moments in between... which make you special.
For her party, I knew we couldn't have it in our home... it's just too small... so it was decided we'd go to a bouncer place... Wild Party Kingdom... which made the theme perfect... Rainee wanted Curious George!
Over the last 2 weeks I've loved watching Rainee's Birthday Party Joy... as we filled out the invitations.... bought goodies for the goodie bags... picked out a cake... made her list of wishes, if anyone asked... counted down the days to her FAKE birthday... and the smiles on her face every time a friends said they were coming.
Saturday was the big day, and we had the most extraordinary time. What I delighted in most was sharing the fun WITH Rainee!! This place was sooooooo terrific... it wasn't just for the kids... it was for parents too... and seriously, how often do you get to go on bouncers and be a kid again??! It was soooooooo much fun going down the big slide with Rainee... going down the alligator's mouth... chasing after one of her friends... playing ping pong... climbing the rock wall... jousting with Steve... playing air hockey... the joy... the laughter... the enjoyment... it was contagious.... you couldn't help but join in the lighthearted pleasure.... of having fun!!!
So this week, I'm grateful for... Birthday Party Joy... bouncers... and being a kid again. I'm thankful for the happiness I saw on Rainee's face... the laughter filling every inch of her soul... and for this wonderful, joyful beginning to her 6th year. Birthday Party Joy... it's the best!!!
