Busytown Bowling 5th Birthday Party!

Sunday, November 11th was a busy and fun day for our family! All four grandparents were in town for Turner's birthday party, so it was special that Turner's His Kidz group was performing in church for Veterans Day and all the grandparents got to enjoy the show!

We headed home after church for lunch, and the opening of family presents in celebration of Turner's birthday a little early (since her birthday party was that afternoon at 3:30).

She's been wanting these Twinkle Toes for months...the LED lights in these shoes are bright!!

A Cinderella Barbie from Aunt BB was a treat since we accidentally beheaded Barbie a few months back!

And since Turner's personal camera stopped working, Granny and Grandpa replaced it with a new purple camera that's all her own!

Her birthday party theme was a "Busytown Mysteries Party at the Bowling Alley".  This awesome Huckle cake was made by a friend of mine from school.  If you are interested in her work, check out Cakeapotamus on Facebook!

I found these bowling pin water bottles online and they were the perfect party favor that's actually useful after the party!

Turner is blessed to have sweet friends and we were thrilled that so many could join us for her special celebration!

The biggest cheers came from the lanes where Grandpa, Mrs. Norma, Aunt BB, Daddy, Pop, and Tootsie were bowling! This video is just a small picture of my mom's swagger...she's a career PE teacher and can teach anyone how to play a sport. But you'll also notice her incredible competitive nature, and her strut when she cleans up with a spare. This video makes me laugh!

By the time we had bowled and eaten, many had to head home.  But, never fear, Francie and Turner had a ball opening presents in the floor before we left the bowling alley!  It was fun to have a friend squeal with as they opened and saw fun new things.

We had such a fun afternoon celebrating our sweet and kindhearted daughter!  Turner is an amazing blessing and we are so proud of her for everything she's learning and the ways that she's growing in knowledge!
