Anton gets Emma up from a nap just before our friends arrive.
Our wonderful friends the Fishers brought their bouncy castle. Their son Jacob is an old pro.

Hangin' outside (including my two very pregnant friends - I was impressed!)
Leah and Bailey enjoy the little house.

Leah and Bailey enjoy the little house.Meanwhile, inside, another wonderful friend Jessica has offered her face painting skills. Bella is the first customer! Looks like she's not so sure about being the guinea pig, but she gets a cute ladybug on her hand!
My Anna picked a green snake. She thought it was pretty cool! Luckily it got itchy by bedtime and she let me wash it off.
Pretty much all the other girls got pink butterflies!
Michael and Noah say hi to Junior. He might not down a kid or 2 or 8, so we keep him locked up on the stairs. Luckily it's an open staircase and he can check it out and get attention from his little perch on the landing, so he seems ok with the setup when we have guests.
Super-dads with baby duty!
Joanna walked from one side of the house to the other in those wooden shoes. Nice work on the slick floors!
Bailey and Noah in the kitchen.
Sweet Natalie.
Jessica gets to take a break with her girls!
I love it that you can go in a big circle around the staircase in my house. It entertains the kids to run around the big circle and it is so funny to watch! Here's our fairy Abby pushing the stroller around the circle, followed by Joanna, who may or may not have been trying to take the stroller (fighting over the stroller is a pretty common occurrence at my house!)
And Anton pushing Jack.

Anton still pushing Jack around the circle! Looks like Aidan wants a turn too. It's so fun to watch little boys play with Anton. They love him!!
Leah loved the drum setup!!
She's so good she attracks some fans.
Joanna gets to try out the drums too!! 
The pink and blue cake! Taking a deep breath...

Mom and Anton serve the cake to some eager customers.
Anna LOVED her pink and blue cake - well mostly just the icing!

Yeah it's time for presents!! Anna got some great new toys!!!
Yeah for crafty moms!!!
I thought it would be cute to line all the little kiddos up on the sofa for a picture. One of Anna's new gifts was a little toy camera, so she didn't want to be in the picture because she was busy TAKING the picture!!! Also, Leah had discovered the sit and spin and would not get off of it for anything, so her dad had to pick her up and plop her down in front of the sofa on the sit n spin. I think these pictres are so funny I had to post several!!
We tried several times to get her in there, but she wasn't having it! Bella wasn't too excited about the picture either, and Jack's head is chopped off. Thanks guys for humoring me with your tired children!!
At least you can see a profile here. And there's Emma trying to eat Anna's new clock.
I guess the girls were playing the big brother ring toss game. Anna is trying out her new nap mat from Gram.
What a great big brother! So handy for opening those toys.
Teaching Emma how to take a nap on a nap mat!

My children had such a fun time at the party, thank you so much for having us! They both took huge naps that afternoon, LOL. Jacob said his favorite part was "racing around the circle". Bella's teachers were concerned about her diaper contents being a really wierd color - I was like "Um..yeah, she had a lot of bright icing on Monday!" Happy Birthday Anna!
