birthday party!!

Lia turned 9 on October 10th.  We had her birthday party on Saturday the 8th.  She invited a few friends from school + her brother and sister of course (Jaxon wasn't so sure about being surrounded by all those GIRLS).   We had the party at Funset Boulevard which is one of those places with arcade games, bumper cars etc.  I think Lia and her friends had a great time.  They are such sweet girls it was fun to have them all join us. 

 Here are some pics of our day -

 we made some gift bags for each of her friends, and Lia made them each two bookmarks with their favorite animals on.
