Caleb is 6!

I usually shy away from “licensed character” party themes. We’ve had a train birthday, but not Thomas; a fairy birthday, but not Tinkerbell; a fish birthday, but not Nemo; and so on. However, this year I decided it would be too fun to do Angry Birds for this little ipad enthusiast.  Yes, I even bought the Angry Birds graham crackers.

My original idea was to use cardboard boxes and other paraphernalia to build structures and then catapult water balloons or something to knock them down. You know, angles, force, weight distribution—we could count the party as a whole extra school day. But then I decided that activity would be better for Nate’s age group. And I waited too long to start collecting boxes. So, I settled on an interactive block-and-ping-pong-ball centerpiece.

Good morning sleepy birthday boy. I see you’ve already put those party favor tattoos to good use. (So easy when they ask for junk cereal instead of homemade sweet rolls and bacon!)

Happy Birthday Bub. We are glad God gave you to us!
