This is one of the pics I took for his invitations!

I have always loved birthday parties! There is something magical about them. For the past few months I have been gathering, sewing, painting, sewing, painting, and gathering. lol After many late nights and long days...I am ready for Blake's 4th Birthday Party!! Today is the day! And I am proud to say, all my hard work paid off! This was by far his BEST birthday party yet! Several months ago Blake told me he wanted a Batman Birthday. So I started planning a Superhero party...water grenades, Batman cake, superhero silly bands, water guns, comic books, capes, superhero game, masks, a king size sheet for a photo backdrop, clothes pin superheroes. Ya know just what every party needs! lol Blake was so excited! I recruited the help of some of my friends, assembling goody bags, cutting out stars for the capes, cutting felt masks, etc. When Blake woke up this morning he was pretty calm. I don't think he realized exactly what was in store. Everyone started arriving at 2pm. Blake decided he needed to guard his presents...not sure why. lol All the other kids were out side playing. My grandparents stayed in with him, until we finally convinced him it was ok to come outside. He is so silly sometimes. This was the first year he was excited for the presents, more than the party. He had a BLAST playing with all his friends. Seeing him smile just brightens my day! He is such a special kid. I am SO grateful for how well he is doing. All the kids played and jumped (we rented a bounce house) and then got a little wet from the water balloon fight. We came in to sing 'Happy Birthday' and have some cake and ice cream. Then everyone sat on towels outside eating cake while Blake started opening his presents. He was SO excited! He got a lot of really cool stuff. We really have amazing family and friends!! It was such a great birthday. Not sure if I will ever be able to top that one...but its worth a shot! Blake deserves it! Here is a slide show I put together since I wanted to share all the photos with you! I hope you enjoy!!
