Afton's 6th birthday

Afton turned six! Her birthday was on a Wednesday and G&G Cheney were going to be out of town, so they drove over the Sunday before and went to church with us. Then we celebrated afterwards. We had dinner and then she opened her presents. She had made a birthday list and tacked it on the fridge 2 months in advance, so we had a pretty good idea what she would like. Grandma and Grandpa Cheney got her a Captain America shield, a switch n' go, and a beanie boo.

 She also got an Ariel dress, a stuffed animal Raja from Aladdin, and an Ariel wig. That girl loves her dress up!

She requested a white cake with red balloons on it.

She had to try a few times to get them all.

We love our Afton! She is such a fun and happy person and brings a lot of joy to our family.

On her actual birthday, she asked if we could go to SkyZone, an indoor trampoline park. I said sure. We got there right when they opened and bought a pass to jump for an hour. Five minutes in, I got in trouble for holding Eli while I jumped, so I set him down and he just walked around falling and getting in other people's way. The dodgeball area (which Sam loves) wasn't open, nor was the basketball hoop area for most of the time. They had fun jumping and at the foam pit for about 30 minutes and then just wanted to pretend to play arcade game. ('Cause there was no way I was forking out more money for games when I was paying for them to jump!)

Anyway, they had fun. Even if they weren't jumping.

We came home and hung out - Afton danced around to her new favorite jam. This video is twice as long as it needs to be, but I don't feel like editing it so here it is.

 I love this picture of Eli pointing at her nose.

That night she finished opening the rest of her presents.
