His First Birthday Party For A Classmate!!

A girl in Nicholas' class named Abbie invited the whole class to her 5th birthday party! It was at a place called HERO'S in Denton, TX. This is an indoor party place with play areas, bounce houses, giant slides, carnival style games and of course pizza, cupcakes and soda! One of the Managers has a child who attended the same school as Nicholas, so she knew that most of the kids in attendance could need some extra help...this made us feel a lot better. The Manager would also be sure that our "party-person" knew about the kids and their possible needs. The party stated at 10am on Saturday, January 16th. As soon as we walked in the door, the birthday girl shouted, "Nicholas!" It was so fun to hear someone call out his name at party...

After most of the kids arrived it was time for the first station. A large room with a few baskets of different toys. Our party-person (standing to the left of the boy) had a few organized games, including a giant parachute...this was his first giant parachute...he seemed to enjoy it.

He really wanted to run underneath it and eventually he did!

Hang on tight!

He next tried to stand on a small board with wheels on it....he was a lot more successful when he sat on it and had Mommy push him around...

Running around trying to find something else interesting.

And, now it's time for the giant room 'o' bounce houses and slides! Since a lot of older siblings were in attendance, they were more than happy to help out the little kids when needed....Here we see Nicholas begin his journey to the top of the most giant slide he has ever seen!

Getting ready to ssssssssssssslide......stay tuned...

Here he is starting an inflatable obstacle course.....little does he know that Mommy is hot on his heels...

Going up for another slide!

Beginning his big plunge....

Daddy was too slow with the camera!! I need him to try it again....

...and Mommy edges out Nicholas for an indoor inflatable obstacle course victory!!

I finally get "the shot" as he rapidly slides back down to Earth....

Next stop? Pizza and cupcakes. Here he is patiently waiting for some pizza and a cold drink.

Here it is...his first ever bite of pizza party pizza....a proud moment for all of us!

Pizza......done.......next? A giant cupcake....

3 seconds before this picture was taken Daddy managed to get the paper off of the cupcake....luckily for all us, Mommy yelled across the room...."Take off the paper before he eats it!" Good call Mommy!

This is the universal sign for......."Father, my hands have been soiled with the richness of cupcake. Will you kindly assist me with cleaning them before I am forced to clap them and really make a mess?"

FIRST the last bite of cupcake, THEN you can clean off my face.

Here is a forced shot of Nicholas and Abbie right before we went home!

Thanks for inviting us..
