The 5th Birthday Party

We held Alec’s 5th birthday party on Friday afternoon. I would say it was a smashing success (my own opinion of course!).  We hired a magician to come and entertain the young children.  It was fun for the adults too. I had some major guilt hiring them –being that it might be over the top - too much extravagance for a five year old birthday party. But I gotta tell ya….it was worth every penny. To see the kids faces and hear the laughs. Bless my heart- I got teary several times. Not because Alec was turning 5 but because it was just so gosh darn cute!

The balloon chandelier was another one of my Pinterest wanna-be ideas. I am not going to bother showing you the original. It was classy and beautiful . Mine took on a life of its own. Symmetry –notsomuch.  I wouldn’t say a complete fail. I would say…I should have started 2 days before so I could get it right. But I will also share that I don’t think anyone cared but me.

He made balloon animals (swords, flowers, spiderman) too. And they all got to get a tattoo.

 

Cool.

Thanks for all who came to share Alec’s special day.
