Carter had such a great birthday and party last year, and we had so much fun planning and executing everything at our house. I knew with the girls being bitty babies that a party at our home this year was just not in the cards. Our kitchen was covered in bottle and pump parts, our living room is full of swings and bouncers, and I didn't want all the germs brought into our house. So we booked a party at the Little Gym knowing Carter (and friends) would have a blast running out all of their energy playing and jumping all day.
We had a 3:30 party time and got there about 3:00 to get decorations and favors set out. TLG staff did everything for me, I just brought the banner, "two" poster, cupcakes, favors and table decor. It took them all of 10 minutes to get everything set up! So easy!
I love these pictures of Carter watching his guests arrive. We didn't tell him about the party beforehand, so he was in Heaven seeing all of his favorite people all in the same room together. Madeline and Molly spent the entire party being held and loved on by everyone.
TLG staff spent about an hour and 15 minutes playing with the kids doing all sorts of fun activities. Carters favorite things at gym is balls and bubbles and the same held true at his party. He also loved the parachute and blow-up mat. We tried for a group picture but it was pretty much a fail!
We opened presents at home with just the grandparents, which ended up working out great since Carter was pretty spent after the party. We actually saved some of the presents for the next day, his actual birthday, since he showed such little interest in sitting still and opening everything up. All he wanted was to take a bath and go to bed! But he loved having all of his grandparents at his house all to himself.
Happy birthday, sweet boy! We love you to the moon and back!
