My big Boy is turning the big 5 this April and is wanting a birthday party at home this year. Every other year we have kept his party low key by hosting the event at the park or last year at gymnastics BUT this year he wants the full 9 yards complete with theme food and party decor! I think this has a lot to do with the fact that Cohen's 1 year birthday was in September and we had his party at the house because it was too cold for the park and he wasn't old enough to appreciate a gymnastic or jump zone etc. party. Of course being that it was Cohen's first birthday I tried to make it extra special and did make a few cute theme related decorations and snacks. Soooo ever since September Colby, my mini Me, has been "planning" his Birthday Bash.
We have known for months that the theme would be "Imagination Movers." Lucky for us, playhousedisney.com has a link called "celebration center" that gives you all sorts of ideas on how to throw a disney themed party. Now of course I have a budget for the boys birthdays (each member of our family has a birthday envelope- the money saved throughout the year goes toward both the party and gifts). Sooo to stretch that budget further we are going to make most of the party decor and favors. And THAT is going to be the focus of most of our craft times from now until the Big Event!!!
Today we are going to make "idea emergency" hats for all of the guests. That is. if Colby likes the idea. He is very opinionated and likes to take control of the craft ideas..... Wonder where he gets that from?
