Kerri's 5th birthday party!

Mommy, Daddy and Kerri (and her friends!) celebrated Kerri's 5th birthday at PlayTime4Kids on Saturday, September 26, 2009:

Kerri bounced,

and swung,

and slid,

and climbed!

Meanwhile, our professional photographer (the lovely Nana) had her camera turned on her for a change:

Kerri also loved the arcade,

and sliding with friends:

especially her dear friend Maria!

So there was more bouncing.

until it was time to eat:

A feast of popcorn, chips, cookies, and pizzas was served:

and Kerri promptly took over the popcorn and created popcorn pizza (take a close look!):

And then it was finally time for her cake, her favorite Batman:

And we all sang happy birthday,

while Kerri made her wishes:

and then blew out her candles with a little help from her friends!

Yes my girly girl picked a Batman cake. Sigh.

Kerri won a teddy bear, and she spent the rest of the day holding it:

but first we had to eat cake!

And after more fun in the arcade and play area, and more prizes and loot bags galore, it was time to bring the real loot home:

And as Kerri likes to say, she "had the bestest birthday party eber!"

She especially loved her new princess jewelry:

and decided to wear all her accessories at once!

And then we celebrated and partied some more at Boston Pizza:

And the staff all came and announced Kerri's birthday to the entire restaurant, clapping and singing until she blushed!

And it really was the best day eber!

And I could not finish this post without thanking our lovely photographer Nana and Kerri's sidekick Pookie:

I think Pookie likes Nana...

almost as much as we do.

Thank you to everyone who made Kerri's birthday special, and for those of you who could not be here, we felt your love from afar.

Life with Kerri is the bestest eber!
