We had a blast with Josiah's 5th Birthday Party! Animals/Safari was an obvious theme for this kid. Above Mattie and Josiah organized some of the beach ball animals. We hid them in the yard and then the kids got to take them home as party favors.
Fun Pinterest idea. Though be warned: if you do this the night before, half the balloons will be deflated by the time of the party. Just so you know.
Finding the beach animals and putting them back in the zoo (under the play set).
Good little finder
Having animal races. This was the cheetah race, but we also did kangaroo and zebra.
Freeze tag, only they were hungry lions chasing antelope. Most kids took a turn being the lions in pairs. I paired Josiah with Mattie, and when it was their turn, we looked around after 2 minutes, and Mattie had caught every "antelope." That girl is fast!
Cupcakes
ALL the animals escaped from the zoo
Blowing out his candle. Mattie came and put his arm around him, like she was really proud of him. It was so sweet, I nearly cried.
Cecelia leading a game she organized.
Making some animal face
Sneaking a second cupcake when no one was looking... Don't worry, he only ate the icing ;)
Opening his fun presents
So blessed that the Simmons drove all the way from Greensboro. Josiah LOVED having them there, and they hopped into playing like they'd never been apart. I didn't get nearly enough Lee time though!
