Birthday Party

After rescheduling and moving things around like 4 times, we finally had Silas' 5th Birthday Party yesterday at Redoubt Elementary playground. I was so thankful that the rain didn't decide to show up!! Not much sunshine- but at least it was kind of warm!!

Silas and all the kiddos had a good time playing on the playground, eating cake and busting open the pinata!! The parents enjoyed conversations and watching the kids have fun!

This year's party theme was 'The Flash'. He is one of the Justice League super heros- his friends are Batman and Superman. I was worried that I wouldn't find anything that would work with the theme- and I was pretty much right. Unless you want a full-blown Super Hero party you are out of luck for just Flash. But we decided to just take the colors of Flash and go with it- Red and Yellow! Although I couldn't find a pinata that went, but I was able to come up with a cake design.

Silas said, "Mom I like turning 5!" I said "Yeah it is pretty cool, look at all this cool stuff that you got." He replies so sweetly, "I know! I have some cool friends, huh MOM?!?" and I said, "Yes bud, we have some really cool friends!"

Everytime we have a get-together with friends, I am just amazed at how blessed we are!! We truly have the greatest friends! Thanks to all who came and for the great gifts! We love you all!!
