The morning began with balloons and the Maddie flowers blooming. Those are the bright orange flowers that were blooming the day she came home from the birthing center (you can see that
here), and make Jess smile when she sees them.
After setting up for her party in the backyard, Maddie was finally released to see...
Yes, the bounce house!
Max was astounded as well.
The water table was also an incredible hit.
Even for the smaller (Everett) set.
A surprise win was the crawl space. It all began with Tak and Emma sitting and looking at it. Next, Lilly came over, and finally Victoria. It engaged their interest for an amazingly extended period of time.
The adults, Kathleen, Val and Jeremy, engaged in banter.
And some butterfly balloon bringing (courtesy, Erin and John).
The butterflies were a huge hit, even being brought into the bounce house, where one ultimately found it's demise (the second was downed through excessive loving).
Some of the Breakfast at Tiffany's set tried to play it cool, but ELF did get in on the action soon enough.
Elizabeth was constrained only by her age and this exersaucer.
Cake time, also a big hit.
All of the kids helped, as Maddie is still not sure why that fire is on that cake.
Those are cupcakes underneath an inch of buttercream.
Sweet.
Shanna and one-year-old Edith agree.
As did Lilly.
Max made sure to get in his fill of the party with some Brian love.
As well as with some face-grabbing love with Diane. George supervised to make sure his bride was not harmed in the process.
As the warm afternoon wore on, and the sugar buzz wore off...
The last butterfly headed off to the Verdugo Mountains or the Burbank Airport.
The day wrapped up with a birthday party day dinner and some gift opening.
Which included a bundle of sticks. Really, how could the day have been better?

OH Yah! That looked like so much fun. So sad we couldn't be there. Wow a bouncy house at 2! Lucky girl!
Love the balloons, the sticks, Maddie's surprise at the bounce house, all of it!
