Once Kelly shared this video online, folks from all over took notice. Needless to say, everyone was begging to learn more about JB’s birthday party. Luckily, Kelly was more than happy to share the details. For starters, neighbors weren’t the only ones who attended. Even the mayor himself showed up!
