Arianna's Birthday Party

Arianna and Nehemiah had their birthday party saturday, and it was a bowling party. Very fun. For most of the kids there it was their first time bowling, everybody did really well, and I even saw a couple strikes and spares. (Some of us adults also appreciated the "bumper bowling" helping us out)

These tv's above the lanes were also wishing the kids a happy birthday.



There's a lot of waiting for your turn in bowling.
explaining a little about the game. Real bowling is a little different than Wii bowling.


here's the party scene behind the lanes.
again with the pink cake.

They brought out these ramps that the kids could use, especially the kids who couldn't actually lift the ball, like Ari. They got to set it on top and then push it down, it worked very well, and kept us from having many balls get stuck half way down the lane.



Lane didn't need the ramp, he just threw that sucker

birthday girl having some snacks.
Isaiah gettin the ramp ready
Isabella tried it a couple times, but I think she liked throwing it better.
Kole needed some cake.

Every time I helped Ara bowl I saw her adorable tiny bowling shoes sticking out from under her skirt and I just thought it was so cute.
a very serious conversation, whispering is hard to do in a super loud bowling alley.
some presents.


We had a fun party, and I'm sure we will be bowling again!

Later, at Grammy's house, Isaiah became the Cat in the Hat. He added to his costume piece by piece, the scarf tucked into his pants was of course his tail (which is what started it all) then he has a hat, a bow tie, and finally gloves. The Cat in the Hat.

Bowling was a fun thing to do. We all enjoyed it a lot. I think the big girls (Isabella, Ella and Sophia) were sure having a great time. The boys were took care of all the stray balls. Good idea, this bowling party. I see you got lots of good pictures out of it. Had a hard time filling Nikolas up on cake..

A buncha great kids. Xander and Lane are so cute together. I saw the beginning of the cat in the hat scene before I left for work, so that's fun to see the final!
