We had Connor's 4th birthday party at Grandpa and Gammy's yesterday. It is a little early, since his birthday isn't for a couple weeks, but we wanted to do it before the baby is born. Since it was on the lake we did a nautical theme. The kids swam in the lake, tubed, rode on the boat, and played on the beach.. They had a GREAT time!
Here are the cupcakes. I don't know if you can see, but there are little shark sprinkles on top. Cute.
If you look REALLY closely you can see the only picture of me from the whole party... a reflection in the tv. Awesome.
To go with the nautical theme I had a navy and white striped bathing suit top and made a long red maxi skirt.
I loved the favor bags! They were so cute! Each kid got some shark gummys, a fish water squirter and a pack of goldfish.
Sarah offered to help him open his presents from the Lands and Harberts. I think it's the first time a kid has helped another kid open a present, and neither one cried or tried to steal it away! They are getting so big!
Due to the blue icing, we opted to do cupcakes outside...
... even though there was a wind storm the second we walked outside. He never got to blow out his candle, because we couldn't get it lit... but we told him he could have a candle re-do on his actual birthday and he was happy with that solution.
After we ate cupcakes and did presents, all the kids (except Kate - she has had a little runny nose, and birthday party day was the straw that broke the camel's back... she turned the corner into super sick and now has a fever and super snot... awesome 5 days before we have a baby) got back into the lake and swam and tubed and boated for another couple hours. It was such a great party!
This might be my favorite picture.... Quentin covered in blue icing and taking Josh's cupcake. Hilarious.
