Nolan is 5! Yesterday we had a party with his friends and cousins. I had found a fabulous deal at Jungle Jim's Playland so we went ahead with a party even though Nolan wasn't begging. It really was such a fun place for kids this age. Nolan's party friends included Ryan, Kendyll, Carter, Jaxon, Ella, Dane, Elle, and Ezra. We missed Jesse; he was sick and couldn't come.
Justin took the afternoon off work. We drove our two cars and a couple of friends met us there with their moms and siblings. It was nice to have some extra eyes for supervision (although the kids were all sooo good)! When we got to Jungle Jim's we had a surprise: my good friend Terrah was there with Cora, Violet, and Luke! She moved from our neighborhood 3 years ago so it was so fun to be able to have them at the party, too. I think Nolan felt pretty special having all those people to hang out with!
The day of the party was the first time I had really wished for a camera with a faster shutter speed to capture these quick-moving moments. But you'll get the idea even if they're blurry!
Rollercoaster!
Jeeps and Spinners! Dane was so sweet to go on rides with Ezra and put his arm around him. He probably saved his life on that crazy rollercoaster!
The Bumper Cars were a huge hit!
Carousel and Swings. Ryan and Kendyll were so helpful!
Spaceships (Ezra called them boats).
After cupcakes and presents (thank you, again, everyone!) the kids spent another 30 minutes on the rides before we had to tear them away. Nolan was especially sad to leave. This morning Ezra woke up saying, "We're going to go back to ride the rollercoaster today!" Oh, it was a great time! Happy Birthday, Nolan. You are loved.

Happy Birthday Nolan! Sounds like you had a fun party. What an awesome Mother you have to plan such a wonderful day :)
It was such a fun afternoon! So fun in fact, I completely forgot about signing up to volunteer at the bookfair (oh wait, maybe that's just pregnancy :)). Kevin took the bookfair assignment instead of babysitting and it worked out fine. So glad to see you and celebrate! Thanks for letting us crash the party and for sharing your cupcakes!
Happy birthday Nolan! I wish we could have celebrated with you!
What a fun party. Carter asks EVERY day if we can go back to that place where Nolan had his birthday party. Let me know if you ever see a really good deal again. I'm wishing I would've purchased that one. Oh well! Thanks for inviting Carter. He sure loves being with Nolan. Happy Birthday buddy!!
Looks like a really fun party!!! It was sure great to see you guys last weekend...can't wait to see you at Easter!
