We recently had a pool party to celebrate with him. Our birthday deal is that you can only invite the number of families to the party of the age you are turning. So it was 7 families this year of HIS choosing.
The theme was Kung Fu Panda, although Star Wars was a close
second. We had 2 water games and a pinata.
My boys love to decorate and set up for parties. The birthday boy dubbed his younger brother 'The Party Manager'. So he got to assemble the party favor buckets.
Everyone enjoyed the swimming as it was to hot to be outside and not jump in.
The CAKE - A great story. We decided at the last minute not to order birthday cookies as my amazing husband offered to make AND decorate the cake. It was a simple box vanilla cake put into a monkey mold. Not knowing any better, he iced it all one color after it cooled. This meant it didn't look anything like a monkey anymore. Most thought it looked like TEXAS. We all had a few good laughs at all the guesses. It tasted great.
I had so many great helpers this year. It was wonderful. I even had a few friends change baby diapers for me during the party (that really is going above and beyond).
He did great opening his gifts graciously and with good manners. I was proud of him.
It was great to have a whole day that we concentrated on him and not 'the new baby'. You could see him just eat up all the attention. He smiled ear to ear the whole day long. I love you big boy!!!! Happy Birthday.
