The Birthday Bonanza Begins

Joli is finally to the age where she has little friends and they are having birthdays! So today was the first of what I see being many cake-filled afternoons. There were only two other children when we arrived so the three of them pretty much had the run of the place. Immediately Joli and the birthday girl went down the wet slide. Good thing Autumn's mom had just headed off for more clothes!
Here's my little future sports star. I think she's only seen a basketball hoop maybe twice, but she picked up the ball and knew just what to do with it.
The funnest part for the kids was the miniature bouncer. Everything was fine as long as there were only a few two-year-olds in at one time, but once we got past four there were a lot of knocked heads, squished hands, and crying kids.
Here's Joli and her, uh, first boyfriend? This little house was just so cute. The kids kept ringing the doorbell and then opening the door for each other and then sitting down for some juice.
Joli and birthday girl Autumn had a great time riding around in the wagon that Autumn's auntie was brave enough to pull around the yard for a while. She didn't seem to mind until there were four kids in the wagon.
What is a birthday without cake!?! Joli was very happy until she put too much ice cream in her mouth, and then started saying "Oww, hurt". Poor thing.
She recovered fairly well and was soon off to steal some of sweet Charlotte's cake.
Autumn is by far the cleanest birthday girl I've ever seen! She ate and entire piece of cake and ice cream and that was the dirtiest her face ever got! Isn't she so cute!
Joli decided to make the most of her last few minutes with the bouncy. Apparently it's much funner to go head first.
Autumn's mom, Donna, had the brilliant idea of sending the kids home with fun toys that they will actually play with and no candy! We love her! Joli loved her little glasses!
Is she a future rock star or what?!? Too bad we don't have my guitar to complete the outfit! All evening she's been saying "my-o-phone".
