FIVE!!! My baby is five, in a flash! His birthday party was great. We went to the Village Fire Department for a tour of the firehouse. Then, walked across the street to play at the park. The firemen were amazing and so generous! The kids loved the tour and were so well behaved! The firemen showed them the trucks, ambulance, fireman suit, and discussed many fire safety tips. We all learned a lot!
Scott made prior plans with the pizza place to pick up the pizza. He told them that he would be there at 9:15 (before they opened, but had plans to meet the manager.) Well, NO ONE WAS THERE! Scott called me 30 minutes before the party..."Bran, what's plan B for food?!" Well, I had no plan B! So in a hurry, Scott picked up Chick-fil-a breakfast biscuit sandwiches and a box of chips from the grocery store! He made it to the party on time, and things went off without a hitch!
Our 5th grade neighbor, Ellie, made the cupcakes. She has a little baking business, and I love to support her dreams! She made "fire themed" cupcakes and a special minion cupcake for Hunter and Trent. She worked hard, and they were precious!! Hunter loved that Ellie made them, he adores Ellie! Such a sweet, personal touch to his party!
Hunter is kind of in a transition place of friends right now. My friends kids, which he has grown up with! His church school friends. The neighborhood kids. And now his Rummel Creek friends! So, we did the best we could do to cover all bases and still keep it a smaller/manageable group! He is such a social guy, he loves people! I have a feeling that he will always be surrounded by friends, which is such a blessing that I am grateful for!
It was a great party. Hunter loves minions, so there were plenty of minion decorations at the party. I kept it all pretty simple. It was perfect! The weather was unbelievable!!!! It was like 78 degrees, breezy! We couldn't have ordered better weather. Successful party, great memories!
Somehow his 2nd and 3rd birthday parties didn't make it on the blog! So, here is a quick recap. His 2nd birthday...we were staying at my dads house while our home was getting worked on. Hunter woke up to a decorated doorway and Pardner's french toast! My dad makes amazing "snow toast!" Then, we ended the day with a dance party! Hunter has always been so joyful, and I love this picture of us dancing. His joy is contagious! Then his 2nd birthday party was a "dirt and worm" theme because he LOVES outdoors. We had pancakes at the park! My sister made his dirt and worm cupcakes, the details for the party were adorable! We crushed Oreos to make "dirt!" We put "dirt" in mason jars with gummy worms in them. It was a precious party, and Hunter had a blast! Trent was just 2 months old!
His 3rd birthday party was at covered park, which is still one of his favorite parks! We did a super hero theme. My cousin painted these super hero cutout's ! He also made the super hero buildings, which held the donuts and cupcakes! Hunter's shirt had a cape on it! He had a great time running and acting like he had super powers! I was about 10 weeks pregnant with Faith Ann, and Trent was 14 months old. Busy times!! This was such a "boy party," and it was very memorable!
