Happy Birthday (Party) Dear William

Today we had a big birthday extravaganza for William. It is his 5th birthday after all! We had a nice birthday lunch with family. Grann, Aunt Maran, Uncle Josh, Allie, Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Mara all came over to celebrate. William received a lot of wonderful gifts and enjoyed spending time with everyone. Then we all went over to Kids Gym so William could celebrate with his friends. We had some friends from his class, the neighborhood, and Grand Rapids at the party. They started the party with "free play" in the small gym which had a bounce house, foam pit, trampolines, and other gymnastic equipment. Then we went to their party room for cake and ice cream. While the kids let the cake settle, William was able to open gifts on the gym floor. Then they got to spend the last half an hour running through an obstacle course. Everyone had a lot of fun - there were some sweaty kids at the end! After the party, family and our GR friends came back to the house for pizza and some more play time. Both boys went to bed and seemed to fall asleep instantly!
