Oh my sweet boy is 7, I can hardly believe it. What a year it has been! Zach decided early this year that he really want a party at the ARL. He loves loves loves animals and it was perfect. He also really surprised me when I gave him the option of receiving gifts from his friends, or asking them to bring donations of food and beds for the animals in lieu of his gifts. He didn't even hesitate saying the animals needed presents more than he did. Was a proud momma moment for sure!
The party room had lots of fun decorations before we even arrived, but we got there and had about 5 minutes to set up. The best part about the day were the 5 little kittens that played in the room the whole time we were there - who wouldn't want a party with a bunch of kittens? The kids got to color a name badge and pet carrier, received a tour of the facility meeting animals along the way, then we had cupcakes and opened presents. They also got to "adopt" their own stuffed animal to bring home.
Zeeshan - one of Zach's first friends
Lucy - Andersen's youngest daughter - glad that we can be close with their family as all the kids play so well together!
Bella L. - we see her everywhere as her brother was in soccer the same time as kenna, is in karate, and she is in gymnastics. I got a chance to work with her this year in reading each week and she is the sweetest young lady.
Joe is in Zach's boy scout troop. He really loved the kitties.
Victoria has been in Zach's class both years. She was his first crush in kindergarten, he told her he was in love with her on the playground last year...hopefully her mom didn't hear!
Ethan - lives a few houses away and the boys have a great time playing pokemon
Taylor - lives down the street and has twin siblings that will be in kindergarten with grayson next year!
Kenna was in heaven with all these kitties to play with...all my kids just love little critters!
