My first born is SEVEN years old! September 13th was Hunter's 7th
BIRTHDAY! He is creative, funny, smart, brave, adventurous, a leader,
thoughtful, protective, funny, and so much more! He woke up to a
decorated hallway and big boy presents...a hat and a watch! Then, on our
way to the bus, we found a gift Uncle Greg left outside for him to
start his day!!
Hunter
wanted an "ARCTIC party!" What the heck does that mean, and where did
that idea come from?! Anyways, I ran with it and we had a great time! I
turned our climbing dome into an igloo, complete with a plug in A/C! The
igloo got down to 55 degrees, which is an igloo in Houston! It took me
over an hour to build this igloo, but worth every minute when I saw his
reaction! He asked for Arctic, so I gave him Arctic! The party was on
his birthday (Wednesday) right after school. A huge group of boys rode
the bus home with Hunter. They ran off that bus all smiles and ready to
party!
We
put cool whip on a slip and slide and called it a "snow slip and
slide!" It was hilarious and so so slippery! The boys made a huge mess,
and I did the slip and slide just as much as the kids. It was so fun!
Hunter had the idea for his dessert, so I let him do it...he and Trent
made them together! He covered rice krispy treats with blue icing and
put marshmallows on them...to look like snow! I got Arctic animal
napkins, hanging snowflakes and a snow backdrop! It was all out Arctic! I
also got snowcones from Bahama Bucks, and the boys loved eating them in
the igloo!
I
always let my kids pick the theme of their parties, then I do my best
to bring the theme to life! Faith Ann had a sprinkle party! Trent had a
silly string party! And now Hunter had his Arctic party! Our parties are
always 'backyard simple', but full of thought and good ole fun!! Happy
Birthday Hunter....you are beyond what I ever dreamed of! You were my
first baby, and now you are my first big boy! I LOVE YOU!
