Party like a Rockstar!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Leah & Happy 6th Birthday Bryce!!!

It's no surprise that I have always been into party planning. In high school, I planned the pep rallies, noontime activities, proms, etc, etc. I just love taking a theme and running with it. Well since my high school glory days are over, my new job has been my kids' parties. I just love kid themes. They are soooo fun!! The kids' birthdays fall on the same week so I
get to use the excuse that it gets to be bigger since it is for two kids. This year I decided on a Rock theme since my kids have a true joy for music. The apple must not fall far from the tree because they totally were in it to win it from the start. They loved dressing up for their invites, picking out the decorations with me, and "helping" set up for the party. As everyone points out though, it is a lot of work and preparation. I hope in the end it is worth it and the kids enjoy themselves, more so than if we just had pin the tail (not that there is anything wrong with pin the tail). When it was all over, I think everyone, including the kids and myself had an awesome time. The kids and their friends dressed up. Some of the adults did too!! We had little guitars for every kid to play, 3 drum pinatas, a guitar cake, a fake tattoo parlor and a full concession stand. Bryce even had a real Mohawk (that came off the next day). The cleanup was pretty intense though. Maybe Bobby will be able to talk me out of having a big party next year....I don't know though...it is so tempting to throw a huge party where everyone has fun. I'll try to stay away from the party store for a year!!! No promises...stayed tuned next year to see what happens!
