James has been anxiously awaiting his birthday party ever since we went to Party America last week in search of balloon animals, party hats, and all the other goodies associated with birthday celebrations. Today was finally the big day (and as a hint to any mother of a young child…delay your trip to Party America as long as possible):
My awesome friend Sarah let me borrow a train cake mold. Please ignore the fact that I have ZERO skills when it comes to frosting the cake…definitely not one of my strengths (Jim even volunteered to take the blame for it…but I’ll own up to it).
Jim and I made a pinata for the party.
This shot was taken about 4 seconds before the sprinklers turned on. Oops!
Mmmmm…pinata treats:
James started opening presents as soon as they showed up:
James’ smallest party guest. Aren’t you just dying to pinch his little cheeks through the computer screen?
Colin SOOO desperately wanted to escape and start scavenging on all of the fallen cake and candy bits on the deck…or maybe he was after the dirt…he literally eats anything he can find.
Happy Birthday James!
The pictures of the party turned out great (as did your cake by the way). I love the ones of James pointing to the baloons and holding up the smarties. The one with the yellow slinky is so cool!
Thanks for letting us share in the celebration!
The party looks fun. I’m so bummed I missed it! Oh well. Great pics. The wedding ones are awesome too. I want to be a photographer so I can go to parties all the time :)
Okay you have some extremely cute children in your life!!(: I love your photos
