As you all know, I am quite into themes when it comes to planning parties, but Christian isn't quite so much. I had been thinking about a Lego party for a while since Christian loves Legos and is so clever with them. He told me though, "Mom, I don't really want anything like that. I just want to hang out with my friends, play games, and have cake and ice cream." He also added that he wanted to go "Bobbing for apples."
Well, our guy had a great idea. It was a fun easy low key party and his game- bobbing for apples was a hit. By the way, we had the birthday party on July 3, so I sneaked in a red, white, and blue theme. He was ok with that.
Bobbing for apples
He got one!
The apples were delicious!
Balloon relay races
Popping balloons was just as fun
Making a wish while blowing out the candle of his American flag birthday cake that Danny made. Really. He makes it every Fourth of July and asked Christian if he could do it. Christian was excited about it.
Christian and Mason tied in musical chairs. We played a couple more games, then opened presents. Christian's friends brought him neat things- a Spider man, 3D chalk, and a butterfly house to watch real larvae turn into caterpillars all the way to butterflies. We have had fun playing with those new things. We'll post about the butterflies when they come in the mail.

Grant showed us a new trick that day.
. Christian, we loved your party and hope you had fun! We love you and are excited that you are turning 5 and going to kindergarten this year!
