Bear and Reese were going to have a combined birthday party at a local Bounce house place (Jumpin' Jacks) however, they decided to close and not inform those that had reserved (and paid) for birthday parties! NICE. So, we had to come up with something for Bear a little late. His birthday was the 7th of September.
Bear told us he wanted a VOLCANO birthday party. Yeah, that wasn't exactly an easy party theme but it ended up a BLAST. Above is the volcano pinata Christopher made for the party. He did a great job, as he always does with these at home parties!
The kids (14 of them!!!) created their own homemade volcanoes from small water bottles (empty), dirt, baking soda, a little red food coloring and some vinegar to set it off.
My brother took some great shots for me. I have absolutely no pictures...I was busy on crowd control! Love Bear's face watching the explosion with his cousin, Hudson.
Pizza was for lunch!
14 kids went through 4 boxes of pizza! I thought we'd have leftovers, but no.
It was THAT good!
Bear's volcano cake that was super awesome before it fell on the floor about 2 minutes before the party started. Christopher did a fabulous job and I wish we had gotten a picture just before it fell. Ironically, he was setting it up to take a picture when it fell.
It ended with the pinata blow out and passing around of the party prizes. It was a big hit and Bear had a great first friend b-day party! Happy 4th Birthday buddy!
