Both boys are obsessed with airplanes. We live under a flight path to Logan, and they enjoy just sitting outside and spotting planes. Nathan is building model airplanes with Michael, hanging them up all around the house. They always watch the airplane episode of "Mighty Machines", and on and on. So what better theme for their birthday party then airplanes?
I made a special invitation, which of course I sent all copies out and have no picture of. Ooops.
But we had a lot of fun preparing for the party, making paper airplanes, cutting out clouds and stenciling airplanes. I trolled Pinterest for all sorts of ideas and tried to keep my projects reasonable.
It turned out to be a rainy day (very different than last year!), but I think we did a good job of keeping the troops under control and everyone had fun :) I know Nathan and Alex did! Thank you everyone for making it such a great birthday party!

Awesome party!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the best party ever - for two of the best boys ever! Wish we could have been there - but enjoying, and re-enjoying the blog is the next best thing. Thank you.
