Gymnastics party/Weekend at Bernies

If you ever saw the movie, "Weekend at Bernies" that is the best way I can describe Madison's 3rd birthday party. After 3 days of being sick and another trip to the doctor we decided to go ahead with her gymnastics party with all 18 of her friends from preschool. After calling every mom to alert of Madison's condition we were thrilled there was still such a strong turnout. Madison loves to jump, hang, climb so gymnastics has been a wonderful outing for her and Dad on Saturday mornings so we thought only fitting she should have her party there, complete with a jumpy house. But the party went south quickly when after a few minutes of physical activity Madison tuckered out.. still not feeling well. Mark and I literally had to hold her up and blow out her candles for her. It was a sad sight!! Hence the "Weekend at Bernies" refernece.I think all the kids had a good time and everyone enjoyed some delicious homemade cupcakes.. courtesy of Auntie JuJu (thanks again). The girls also enjoyed jumping around with their new batons that Madison of course had no interest in passing out so I had to.
Note to self... if your kid ever looks like this... just cancel the party!! We will all remember this as the party her mommy wanted more than she did!!

classic post, should I upload the video clip that I have of you and Mark blowing out her candles or should we save it for YOUTUBE?
