Sydney's 5th Birthday

Sydney's 5th Birthday was back on the 23rd but we recently got back from Yellowstone so I haven't been able to post any pictures yet. We were blessed to have Melissa's dad Sandy here during her party at a local Bear building place. It was a pretty small party compared to last year's bouncy castle extravaganza, but she had a great time.


Sydney giving a few of her friends a squeeze.


They all waited in line to name their animals. I was trying to convince Jack in front to name his duck something like Donald or Quackers or something but he insisted on naming it the same as Sydney's whale: Kalee


Sydney getting ready to blow out the candles with Sandy in the background armed with cupcakes.


It took her a few blows but she got out all 5 candles. Bryce looked on proudly at his big sister.


Here is the group picture after they had all been hopped up on frosted cupcakes.


This is my boy Bryce, leading his "girlfriend" Kayla off to show her the "woo" which in this instance was a police car around the side of the building. Sandy kept taking him out to see the police car because he is obsessed with anything that has lights and a siren. Eventually two young female police officers came out of the substation and let him sit in the car and turned on the lights and siren for him. They did this THREE times as he convinced Sandy to walk him out to see the police car.


Here is Sandy trying to explain to Bryce that we aren't going to go see the police car for the 10th time. It may be hard to see but at this point he was all red and absolutely freezing cold going out to see that police car.


We were mean and didn't get Bryce an animal (he already has his blue dog) but here is Sarah with her rabbit, Sydney and her whale, and Aiden and his dolphin (who is also apparently a police officer).
