This year, we debated back and forth about how we could combine parties. For the longest time, we were going to host a party for the girls at a local ice cream shop. Then we tossed around a skating party for Walker and Kathryn. In the midst of the endless possibilities, one little voice of reason kept rising over all the chaos--- Walker requesting a turtle party at Cold Snap.
While the girls went all wishy washy on me (seriously Frances would bounce from princess to princess and every theme in between!), Walker stayed true to his wish. So by golly, he got his Cold Snap party Ninja Turtle Style!
He wanted so badly for all of his classmates to celebrate with him, so I threw all caution to the wind and planned a spur of the moment party (seriously I sent Matt to Target on Memorial Day to purchase fill in (I cringe) invitations, so I could have them for school on Tuesday for the party the following Monday) so we could make it happen before school let out!
Judging by this grin, I think he was pleased!
The fun goody bags were local party supply store bags, fancied up with some crepe paper and googly eyes (a la Ninja Turtles) and filled with several green items (Winterfresh gum and small Sprite can), several Ninja Turtle items (small Frisbees and stickers from The Dollar Tree), pizza flavored Pringle sticks (Ninja Turtles have to have their pizza), and topped off with some filler candy. Super cheap and super easy!
This is Walker and his best classmate. I love that they are all smiles!
It wouldn't be a boy party without a little wrestling...
and some funny faces!
Little Sis in on the action...
P R E S E N T S .... Walker's favorite part:)
The whole crew!
I loved how stress free this party was. I love having birthday celebrations at our home, but it was so nice to show up and have everything already set up. And then to have someone else do all of the cleaning up! So thankful we were able to celebrate WGB in such a special way!
