Ashley's Surprise Birthday Party (11/09)

We surprised Ashley early for her birthday this year! Jenna made the beautiful and delicious cookies and cream cake. It was divine! The table looked so pretty that I had to take a picture!

A special thanks to Jenna and Casey for hosting the party.








We played some games.

The first game was to see who could blow the biggest balloon without popping it.










We had a 5 way tie - Casey, Jenna, Jason, Ashley, and Robert!












These were big balloons and took awhile to blow up.












Some of the balloons popped and startled many of us!












The next game was to see who could blow the biggest bubble with bubble gum. Robert did a great job and came in 2nd place.











This is Diana with the start of one of her many huge bubbles. (My timing with the camera was a little off or you would have seen the winning bubble here.)

Diana was declared the winner. She received a pack of gum as her prize.







The last game was to see who could be most creative with their balloons.

Jason was the #3 winner with his creation!










Nate was the winner of the game as determined by the other participants.















Robert was declared the #2 winner of the creative balloon category.


(Please don't overlook the picture here with my new grandson, Spencer.... More pictures of him to
follow!)






Weston was having a great time with all the balloons and chasing them around the floor. He wasn't too concerned about the loud popping noises either.










Then it was time for the birthday cake - Jenna's beautiful and delicious creation.













Paisley was a little intimidated by the popping balloons so she preferred to help blow out the candles with her mom. (Paisley is so cute.)











These gifts were ones I got for Ashley from her wish list on Amazon.












Weston was so cute that I just wanted to add his picture.












A Costco membership for Ashley from her parents.












More gifts..............













Jenna knows exactly what Ashley likes.....













Ashley was thrilled with the new cookbook from Jenna and Casey!

















Just a few extra shots of the guests...........













Everyone checking out their party favor bags that Charity helped put together!












It was fun to have Ashley's friends join the party....












One final shot of Weston as he was so active during the entire party and had a fabulous time. I had a great time and hope everyone else did also.













Happy Birthday to Ashley!
