Hailey's 6th birthday party was on Saturday, the day before her actual birthday. We made some invitations last week and sent some to school and church. She loves the idea of a party because she loves having friends over to her house. Every year that we have had a party, I have centered it around what she is interested in or loves at the time. This year she knew she was having a party but I had something else up my sleeve. I saw an advertisement in a magazine for the OK Tumblebus. She loves going to gymnastics weekly and I loved the idea of a self contained party in a bus. So it was a complete surprise to her when it showed up at our house. She had been invited to a party prior to hers and still didn't catch on to the surprise even though it was mentioned. A sweet little girl in her class at church was also born on the 8th. This year I failed to call and plan ahead but in the end it worked out having our parties back to back!

Here she is peeking out the front window...

Nine girls showed up to her party. The two coaches did a great job working with them and rotating through the activities. Three of her classmates from school also came. She wanted to invite the whole class but I limited it to just girls since there are only 5 in her Kindergarten class! It looked like they all had a really good time for the hour long session. At the end, they gave them awards and a goody bag. The birthday girl got a heavier medal and a t-shirt to remember her day.

Here is the whole gang before going inside for a well needed drink and then birthday cake!

GOODBYE TUMBLEBUS!
