Saturday game and party

Saturday was a big day for us.  First of all, Aunt Jenny arrived around midnight on Saturday, which was very exciting.  Evan had a baseball game on Saturday.  He got two good hits, and he got somebody out at 3rd base.  There were several other plays where he scrambled and made good calls as well.  He was so excited to have Aunt Jenny there to watch.  We think he was also pumped from the pre-game donut he had.  

That afternoon we had a joint birthday party for Evan and Claire.  Evan had about 9 of his friends from school, and we had a few good friends from the neighborhood.  We had it in our backyard.  The kids had a great time bouncing in our bounce house (its a small one--last year's birthday present to the kids), painting each other's faces, playing on the swingset, and some other games that I came up with.  They also got to do a pinata and have pizza.  I think all the kids were worn out at the end of the party, and Evan was one happy kid.  Claire was pretty pleased with the whole thing as well, and kept going strong all afternoon.  She held her own with those bigger kids.  

It was a great party, and I am glad we did it at home, but I am also glad that I only had to do one of these this year.
