He was referring to my son's 3rd birthday party. Knowing how things went down for the 2nd birthday party, I do admit that he has reason for concern. Afterall, that was an AMAZING party, and he knows my ultra-competitive spirit forces me to compete even with myself!
I'm going to save details of the 3rd birthday bash for another blog post, but am going to create a "benchmark" in this blog. So reflecting back to April 2011.....the second birthday party....
Theme: Rock N Roll
Invitations: Guitar cut-outs inviting friends and family to come and Rock N Roll with the birthday boys. (Kevin shared his party with his BFF, Alex, as their birthdays are only one day apart.)
Venue: Clubhouse at local Country Club
Entertainment: Mr. Marc the Music Man (a popular figure in the toddler circles) and decorate-your-own guitars for the kids
Cakes: One guitar shaped cake, and one drum shaped cake
Food: 3 ft sub, meatballs, ziti, chicken nuggets, chips
Favors: Guitar bags filled with inflatble guitars, bubbles shaped like microphones, rock n roll tattoos, whistles, and rock star sunglasses.
Guests: 50 people, friends and family
It took two hours to set up, and three cars to haul presents home. We have videos of Mr. Marc that Kevin still watches one year later.
We coordinated his birthday portraits to include a guitar.
Overall, one of the best parties that we've ever been to - but still a chance to top it for the 3rd birthday celebration!
All of the kids decorating their own guitars.
