Ruby and Kiley's Birthday Party

The day after Ruby's birthday we had her party with her friend Kiley, whose birthday was a few weeks prior. We had it at our local YMCA in their gymnastics room. I guess I was busy with our new video camera, so I didn't get many pictures of their fun. They have a great big and long trampoline that is level with the ground and a pit filled with foam for jumping fun. We set up a big fort-like place for them to climb around in and did a fun parachute activity. All-in-all, it was a low stress, kid friendly place for a party.

Ruby received many nice gifts that have been keeping her really busy since. Lots of Barbies is the key to happy playing for her, and I am guessing she got like five to add to her collection of at least 20. She is really into Barbies that sing.

I was going to make the cake, so I told Ruby she could pick any kind of cake theme she wanted. She was so sweet, she has no interest in horses but she knows that Kiley is really into them, so she said, "I just know that Kiley would want a horse cake, will you make her one?" As much as I adore Kiley, I would have prefered to make something that I knew would excite Ruby, but I wasn't about to discourage her kindness.
