Kinzie's 4th Birthday!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.... So the blog has been on hiatus for a while now. Even today's post is about an event that took place over a month ago! Better late than never.
For those of you who were unable to join us for Mackinzie's 4th birthday party, these photos are for you!
Each year, Laura strives to make Kinzie as cute as humanly possible on her birthday. Many people still talk about the shiny, sparkly silver dress from her 2nd birthday. This year, Laura really outdid herself and made this puffy, colorful tutu all by herself. It was pretty awesome!
We celebrated Kinzie's birthday at the Bounce Party N' Play in White Marsh.
Kinzie had previously attended her friend, Ava's, birthday party there back in January - in fact we blogged about it way back then.
This was the first year that Kinzie was able to invite some of her friends from school and we were very happy to have them join us.
Of course, the usual family members were in attendance... including Uncle Play-Doh!
The Bounce Party N' Play is a really fun place. Its basically a small warehouse painted in bright colors and housing some of the largest moon-bounces you've ever seen!
Most of them require a lot of climbing, crawling and maneuvering to get through them.
The kids really enjoy it... almost as much as the adults, who are also welcome to join in the jumping fun!
Baby Maeby was such a good baby all day! We were at no shortage of people willing to hold her throughout the party so that me and Laura could participate in the jumping fun.
Here our friend Tana is taking her turn with Maeby.
Kinzie's friend, Tristan, from church, had a great time!
This was probably my favorite moon-bounce there: the giant slide!
.... at the top of the large staircase was two huge slides... as Kinzie demonstrates in these photos.
For the bigger kids, there was an over-sized boxing ring. Me and Will duked it out like we did when we were kids.
Grandpop had a great time too, although he may have wore himself out a bit!
After almost 2 hours of jumping fun, we were treated to some snacks and cake.
... it was a pretty packed little room, but all the kids were hungry and thirsty after all of that excitement.
After eating, Kinzie opened her gifts.
Here are Kinzie and her cousin, Emma.
It was a really great party! I think that everyone had a great time and we brought Kinzie into her fourth year with style.
