To celebrate with Leila's friends and our family, we had Leila's birthday somewhere other than our backyard or the park for the first time ever! Leila LOVES animals and it seemed fitting to reserve the party room at Point Defiance Zoo. It was perfect! The room was a great amount of space for the relatively small group of family and friends and the kids were able to ride the carousel as many times as their little hearts desired! We brought Leila's animal toys from home to use as decorations. Perfect!
Goodies for the party favors.
I love this picture of Leila! A little blurry, but look at the joy and surprise on her face! As part of the party package, we got a visit from one of the zoo's animals. Leila got to choose the animal, an African white-bellied hedgehog. Her name was Petunia. She was precious. The kids were even allowed to touch her.
The grandmas did too!
And Granddad!
The crew - Leila, Sadie, Anniston, Finley, Mackenzie, Edith and Elliott.
It was Arctic Blast weekend at the zoo, so there was "snow" to play with and the animals were given piles of it as well to play with in their enclosures.
It was a great birthday! Afterward all the grandparents, Aunt Lynn and the Neeleys came over to our place for dinner. What a great day spent with all the people we love the most.
