Who wants to play in a room full of baby dolls? How about a puppet show? Face paint? We could go see live animals. Let me guess, you want to play in the ball pit. Totter’s Otterville offers all this and more. It is a place where a kids imagination can run wild. It’s everything they love all in one place. I have only been there once before, but when my mom suggested it for SJ’s third birthday I said YES absolutely, and it was a done deal.

My brother (the one with the recording studio) brought his new camera and put together this video of the celebration. I hate giving disclaimers, but on the one day that SJ was being followed by cameras she had put lotion, conditioner, or something in her hair and her usually Rapunzel-ish locks were really stringing. Pair that with her brother hitting her head with a bowling pin (a toy foam one, but still enough to leave a mark) and she looked pretty roughed up. She still (as you will see from the dress up segments) is my little princess.

The Guests:

Z was the oldest kiddo of the bunch
The girl with the pigtails and polka dots is my lovely niece. She is just 4 months younger than SJ
The adorable one year old boy with the hoodie is my nephew. He is a year older than E.
There are 3 blonde headed brothers that SJ spends all her church nursery time with.
Then there were two other brothers and their baby sister.

11 little ones age 0-5. What a happy birthday it was! I can’t wait for the next party.
