Bouncing right into my big 4th birthday ...

Avery very happy for her big 4th birthday

A major life milestone happened the other day ... I turned 4 yrs old!!!  My awesomely fun birthday was as monumental as hitting that big benchmark itself.  Below is a slideshow of all the fun I had ...

Pre-birthday party fun feeding the ducks 

with Grandma Judy and Grandpa Eric

Super fun train ride the night before 

my super huge birthday party

The picture says it all ... for my party I had a

SCOOBY-DOO JUMPING CASTLE!!!!!

Lots of cross traffic getting in & out of the jumping castle ...

... including all the adults, like Grandma Wendy ...

... my good friend Barbara ...

 ... Grandpa Charles ...

... my super good friends Nikki and Dan ...

... and of course Daddy ... 

I couldn't push him out of that thing!!!

We had theme time blocks in the jumping castle too, 

like girls-only time since duh, "girls rule"!!!

Here is a video of our "girls-only" time ... way too much fun!!!

I eventually let stinky boys in as well ...

... but with my good buddy Mathew, I had to kick him 

out for a bit since he was getting way out of control ...

... so he had a nice break with his Daddy ...

... but in the end as the party went on & on, 

we were all getting pretty much out of hand!!!

Here's a video of us all having a real crazy time ....

Avery taking a quick break from the 

jumping castle craziness

Lot's of other fun stuff happened too, 

like good conversations ...

... tons of Eegee's cold slushy drink ...

... yummy birthday cake with good friends ...

... lots of neat presents ...

... and even goofy Daddy trying to hula hoop!?!!??

Then we had a super cool candy filled pinata!!!

 We all took turns knocking it around a bit ...

some kids took baby-like swings ...

... and others (like Shannon) swung for the fences!!!

Eventually the pinata exploded and

 all the candy was released ...

... and quickly swept up by all the hungry boys and girls!!!

Here's a video of us hording all the candy treats ...

Thanks to everyone for the super fun time at my birthday party and all the awesome presents.  And special thanks to my Mommy and Daddy ... they are truly the best parents in the world!!!
