Party Planning

January 25th, 2012

This weekend is someone’s birthday. I’ll give you a hint, he’s super cute, and he’s the little hipster of the family.

Oh yeah! It’s Thade, and he is turning 8!

I’ve been working on the birthday party plans this week, and he has a fun weekend planned. He is so excited!

I just hope the little ones are all better by the weekend…

Thade’s Party Snacks

January 10th, 2012

Last year Thade wanted to celebrate his birthday Harry Potter style. It sounded like a fun theme to me, and my mind was buzzing with party ideas. He wanted to invite his best buddies from school too, and the day was a lot of fun.

His 8th birthday is just around the corner, and I have no idea what kind of party he wants this year. Last year’s party was really great, and the Harry Potter themed treats were a big hit with the kiddos.

We made magic wands, with large pretzel rods.

Yummy snack mix.

There was a magic potion station, everyone could fill a little cauldron with magic finds. The boys really loved this one.

I lucked out and found cute “Hogwarts houses” colored candles for Thade’s favorite cake.

Time to get to planning for this year’s birthday bash!

The three of them are a pretty tight-knit little group.

Agnes looks to her big brothers,

and they teach her so much.

They are so much the same, and then completely different at the same time.

They keep life extra  interesting too.

I just love my 3.
