Circus Flora and Willow's Bday Party

A few weeks ago we had a family celebration for our niece, Willow's, 5th birthday. (I still can't believe she is 5 already!) For the past few years we have gone to Circus Flora as a family to celebrate (care of Grandma and Grandpa). We were also able to include some friends this year including Julie Elder and her beautiful boys. It was great to spend some time with them!

 

 



All the wonderful people that were with us.

I really love going to the circus. It is so neat to see the different acts and they change it up every year. My favorite are the trapeze family at the end. So cool! Its fun to see it through the kiddos eyes too. This is the first year Steven has not slept through the majority of the circus so that was good. I think he really enjoyed it. He was watching intently for quite a while (till he peed his pants LOL).

 

Steven also loves hanging out with Jake. They are pretty cute together. Here they are sharing a sno-cone at intermission.

 

Goofballs.

Steven was all about Baby Nicholas too. He loves babies. Grandma Riegerix got her baby fix too. Everybody wins!

Don't worry I held him a long time too. Love that baby so much!

Yay!

With the ringmaster of the circus.

Afterwards we went back to Grandma and Grandpa Riegerix's house for a birthday BBQ. It was really a nice day so they were able to play outside some. Uncle Tim gave Steven a nerf sword as a belated bday gift (sigh). So all the kids had a huge sword fight outside. Stevens in his underwear. it was pretty sweet.

It was a great time. We all had so much fun! Steven didn't have a nap so he was crabby for a bit but he rallied. He loves playing with his cousins and with Jake. I loved the family time and the opportunity to spend some time with Julie. It was a great day!
