Melissa & Daddy's Birthday Party - Part 1

Photography credit must go to Jason of Revival Arts Studio for the majority of these photos. It is mighty nice to have a photographer in the family! 

Friday we celebrated Ken & Melissa's birthdays with the Klassen family (my side). It was the first of the birthday parties, and so much excitement was in the air!

We strung up helium balloons...

This is a bit of an illustration of how the party was shared... Melissa in the foreground and Ken in the blurry distance. Lucky as we get older birthday recognition isn't as important. Daddy was very gracious to put up with all the princess pink :)

After visiting we sat down to enjoy the birthday cake... Melissa was full of excitement!

A close up of my first rendition of a princess castle cake...

The present opening followed...

Melissa received some great girlie gifts!

Cousin Xander was near bursting holding in his glee... the present they brought was definitely was a hit - a princess bouncy ball.

Xander & Melissa bonding over sharing the ball...

As the night went on many of us gave the ball a spin (or bounce). Surprisingly the ball held everyone's weight when it is specified for a maximum of 100lbs!

The photo of the night... Ken wearing Melissa's princess crown! What a sport :) Things a Daddy does to please his daughter.
