Happy Birthday BOSTON!

We told Boston he could have his first FRIEND party this year and he decided he wanted a CAMPING party. Since our yard isn't quite done yet, we turned our garage into a pretty cool campsite!


These were the INVITATIONS we made, inviting everyone to his CAMP OUT!

We played games and sang songs in the tent, then we closed the garage doors so it was dark and gave everyone their own FLASHLIGHT for the BUG HUNT!

We ate CAMPFIRE cupcakes and drank BUG JUIC
E...

Opened lots and lots of PRESENTS....

and what's a Camp Out without ROASTING MARSHMALLOWS?


Everyone took home a cute
CAMPING sack with a FLASHLI
GHT, a COMPASS, a GRANOLA BAR, BUGS and HOT CHOCOLATE!!



Between the dessert, the presents, the games, the fire, the video camera, and chasing 12 kids around I totally slacked on taking more pictures of the cupcakes and all the fun...oh well!

The
CAMP OUT was a success... and BOSTON absolutely LOVED it!

The next day was his actual Birthday so we had a small party at home. I cannot believe how much stuff he got...it was like Christmas! After seeing all his friends gave him I have to admit that I was tempted to take our gifts back and call it good...but you only turn five once....right???
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY...YOUR'E THE BEST!
