A Balloon Birthday Party

I felt like I was a little belated in Lauren's birthday party plans this year.

We had a trip to California planned a couple days after her birthday, 

and we weren't sure what we would do.

But we decided to venture out of the birthday party in the home mode,

book a venue,

invite her class and friends from activities

and celebrate our Lauren.

She chose a balloon theme,

we chose The Little Gym,

and it all came together from there.

We had a lot of fun with the balloon theme

and the fact that I dropped off everything at Little Gym and they decorated for me...

amazing.

It also was perfect place for kids of all ages to play together. 

They explored the gym,

played games,

laughed, ran, and giggled.

Caroline had a very good time:)

After playing in the gym, we headed back for some cake!

Lauren's hair nearly caught on fire,

but Dad was quick to prevent emergency calls or hair cuts. 

Lauren was thrilled to celebrate with all of her friends 

and have Grandpa & Grandma McQuinn celebrate with us as well!

Mom and Dad were thankful for all their help as we prepared and got into party mode!

It was a wonderful little party,

fun theme,

great venue, 

lots of smiling faces,

and one very happy birthday girl.
