Coco turns 9!




















Chloe Jane Wood turned 9 on February 8th. She had a combined " Jump Rope" birthday party with Felix this year. They had a guest performer come and perform. Chelsea sent me a summary so I got the details right

For Felix and Coco's combined birthday party, we planned a fandango that included all their favorite things. They have been slightly obsessed with jump rope this past year, and we were lucky enough to have a local celebrity willing to make an appearance. We rented out our neighborhood club house, created the invitations/water bottle labels/treat sacks, invited several dozen friends, and picked up some speed ropes. When the kids arrived they spent time at the origami table (another Wood obsession) while we waited for the other guests. Then we played a rousing game of freeze dance set to Chelsea's club mix. Coach Tyler arrived with some other athletes and began the jump rope clinic. The kids jumped at varying levels, but each learned some new tricks. There was a double-under competition and also a chance for everyone to jump double dutch. Chelsea was thrilled the kids liked her 'healthy snack table' filled with fruits/veggies, popcorn, and bottled water. Coach Tyler then performed for the kids, jumping an awesome and dazzling routine. The party ended with cupcakes for all the guests. Coco and Felix had a blast and were so excited the following week to begin watching Coach T. on MTV's America's Best Dance Crew (the first jump rope team to make it to the finals). Best of luck in Hollywood, Tyler! http://www.mtv.com/shows/dance_crew/season_5/episode.jhtml?episodeID=164897
