We were invited to celebrate Liam and Ellie’s joint birthday party to celebrate them both turning five! It was so much fun seeing our friends and getting our kids together for loads of family fun! There were lots of great food, a well-planned obstacle course, and exciting activities for the little ones. Thanks to the Jubb and Jenkins families for having us!

Egg race during birthday party
…the egg race!

 

It was Mio’s first time competing in an egg race! She ended up being the last one to finish because her team got a late start and she was the last leg, and she kept dropping her egg, but the other kids cheered her on and she did great! Proud of her ♥


 

Mirei was too young to participate
Mirei was too young to participate to participate in the obstacle course, so she stayed comfortable with Daddy.

 

Part 2 of the obstacle course: ball throw!


 

Part 3 of the obstacle course: a mummifying game, reminiscent of the toilet paper wedding dress game that’s often played at bridal showers. πŸ˜›

The finale of the obstacle course was the pinata! Here’s Mio taking a swing at it:


 

When the seemingly invincible pinata finally did get destroyed, the kids descended like vultures!


 

Happy birthday Liam & Ellie!
