We are still recovering from our weekend of fun birthday celebration, complete with sugar induced coma. "A"s 7th birthday is July 20th. We have an all day training for our adoption agency next Saturday (can you feel the excitement?), so we had the party this past Saturday (July 10). It was all Spiderman, all the time! I am still dreaming in red and blue. Even the food was primarily red and blue in honor of "A"s favorite super hero! It is a bonus that my boys LOVE blueberries and strawberries!
PS: Do not judge me based on my nasty stripped wall paper in my kitchen. I did NOT pick it out. The previous owners must have thought it was nice, but me....I have disliked it since the day I first saw the house. In fact, it was one of the reasons I wasn't sold on the house right away, but Jeff encouraged me to look past the things that could be changed. Well, over 3 years later...they are getting changed and I couldn't be happier about it! Keep watching for updates on our little home remodeling currently in process. We had to wait until after the party to get started though.
Here are some of our littlest party guests, Drew and Ariana! They were such a cute little duo and I can't help but hope one of my boys or one of my nephews marries this lil' cutie! She is my best friend's daughter and I would love to be related to her! The Spiderman decorations were borderline over the top, but I think we came in just shy of tacky!
There was a GIANT bounce house in my back yard for the big kids. It was so hot though that all of them were drenching with sweat every time they came in from playing to take a little break!
This action was much more my style. The 3 and under crowd had their own mini bounce house in the comfort of the AC!
Our "A" LOVED opening all his presents. However, he thought he should be able to unwrap all the packaging and play with each one before going on to the next. It was quite a challenge to keep he and his lil' entourage of party goers from busting open every gifts packaging and mixing all the many pieces up in one big mess!
Sweet Michelle, our friend and hair dresser was kind enough to help referee the chaos while keeping a list for thank you notes. I am pretty sure she is a modern day Saint!
The last present was a Spiderman bike from us! "A" has been asking for one for months and my sweet parents got him all the protective gear to go with it (helmet, knee and elbow pads)!
The cake was so fun too! Way to go HEB bakery! I considered briefly making the cake myself, but quickly came to my senses when I remembered I don't know the first thing about cake decorating! As my friend says, "you should always leave birthday cakes to the professionals!"
