Party Time! Banner Turns Six

Dear Banner,
This year, you wanted a Pokemon theme. You wanted it at your favorite pool where you swam twice a week at camp last summer (and will this summer). You wanted Pokeball cupcakes. You wanted to give out Pokemon cards as favors. You wanted your entire class there. You wanted to invite everyone you knew. You were so upset that you had to make decisions on who we could and couldn't invite based on the number allowed, but you were SO excited about this party. You knew exactly what you wanted! And that made planning this particular party so easy for me! It really was a breeze.

The only task I had was to make the Pokeball cupcakes, which was so super easy! See my steps here:

Voila! We were set! We made chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, and friends got to choose which kind they liked. We had fun making them, and other than slightly time consuming that morning, they were the easiest cupcakes I've ever made probably. Sorry the pictures below are upside-down (the red is supposed to be at the top).

The pool was the perfect place for the party. It has so many different places for kids to play: a very shallow end where Knox and the other babies could play and walk easily, some slides (that Knox even went down a couple times with BeeBee and Grandma's help), a volleyball net, an island in the middle of the pool where Quinn liked to jump off of to Grandma or Daddy, a diving board, and even a toddler area that was perfect for everyone who wanted a break from the pool (including Knox who adored this area). Our table was in the shade, which made the perfect little sitting area for parents and grandparents to hang out.

With Marin & Landry - I love watching you three grow up together!

Party favors were Pokemon pencils, Pokemon cards, and several Hershey miniatures wrapped up in Pokemon character wraps (which were easily secured on during our road trip to San Antonio last week)! 

I always enjoy putting together your parties, Banner Boone. I love celebrating you, the people who love you, the themes and things you that make you happy, and most importantly, another year of a healthy, happy, beautiful life!

I LOVE YOU! Happy 6th Birthday Party Day!

Love,

Mommy
