Austin's Party...

Austin opening his birthday presents...
Looks like Nate was doing more of the unwrapping. :)
Cupcakes...
Austin, not sure what to do... :)
Some of his little friends that came to the party...
The birthday banner...

We had Austin's party last Saturday morning. He had a great time (besides the few meltdowns) and got lots of great presents. We tried to keep it small, since he is quite shy these days, and ended up with 7 kids total, which was the perfect amount for him. We started out with lunch, played for a while, then had cupcakes and ice cream, and finally the presents! Overall it was a success, and quite the experience for this newby party thrower.
The biggest hit was the balloons tied to each chair...who knew how much entertainment they could provide?? Certainly not I!

Looks like you did a great job! I like that banner. I'll have to keep that in mind for upcoming birthdays.

Very cute! Looks like you pulled off a great party!

I like how your fireplace turned out too. Very nice! Are those granite tiles?
