With the kids birthdays being so close together we always have a group birthday party. We invite the family and close friends to come and celebrate with a backyard picnic. This year, in addition to our group party, we decided to let Ryan have a friend party as well. We had a bike party. Each guest brought their bike (or scooter). We had an obstacle course for everyone to ride their bikes. They rode through cones, got off their bikes and made a shot in the neighbors basketball goal, rode over a straight line, got off their bikes and hit the baseball off the tee and rode over a little ramp (not too big for the kids that could not ride their bikes too well) and then over the finish line. They had so much fun!!
We then set up bike stations. Each child was able to decorate their bike with a name plate that they made from foam letters, streamers and clip a playing card in the spokes of their wheels so they could sound like a motorcycle. This was a big hit with the boys!! After cake and ice cream, the kids played in the backyard while we waited for parents to pick up. It was a great day!!
The next day was our group birthday. Our friends and loved ones came to help us celebrate the kids birthdays. It was great!!!
Towards the end of the evening it began to get a little chilly. Emily and Lydia asked if they could get their jackets. Emily came down with a sweatjacket on, but Lydia came down dressed in complete ski gear. It was too funny!!! Poor Penny . . . I am sure she will have snowman nightmares after Lydia talked to her in the stroller! :)
