Henry celebrated his birthday on June 2, 2007 with a big party in our backyard. We had about 15 kids with their parents, then later on in the afternoon, we had our "childless" friends join us for a big cookout. It was seriously hot and in the late afternoon it poured down rain, but everyone just moved inside. In the evening the guys played poker, so it turned out to be an all day affair! Everyone seemed to have a really great time.
When serving Henry his birthday cupcake, Jim warned me not to light the candle, but I didn't listen. As we were singing Happy Birthday, I looked away for a second and Henry grabbed the flame with an open palm. Everyone stopped singing and gasped, as I lunged for his hand. Needless to say, it terrified Henry and he cried. The rest of the song was a bit of a bust!! The picture above is before and here is the after:
Unfortunately, I lost my camera while in Colorado which had all the photos from the party. I am heartbroken. The photos here were taken on a camera phone- at least we have a few!
For the theme of the party, I used a seersucker light blue stripe and orange. I covered the tables in seersucker fabric, I made little seersucker and orange pennant flags to hang, and we had orange, blue and white balloons. For the babies, I made carrot mini-muffins and each muffin had a small stripped flag in it with a letter to spell out HAPPY BIRTHDAY HENRY. It was very cute- but you will have to take my word for it. :-(
Here is a picture of the invites:
