Nicholas’ birthday is in three weeks and I have ZERO ideas. But as I was thinking about birthday parties for boys, I remembered that I had never posted these photos from a friend’s party all the way back in 2012!
Our friends, Tim and Nicole, threw this party for their son and at the time I asked her if I could blog about it, but I must have gotten distracted and just forgot. Since then, their whole family has relocated to Papua New Guinea, where they are serving as missionaries. Nicole now writes a blog about their adventures over there.
This was seriously one of the cutest parties.
We were greeted at the door by the Man in the Yellow hat.
He was a big hit with the ladies.
The kids participated in simple activities inside like decorating party hats with Curious George stickers and pin a butterfly on the poster. If I remember correctly, Nicole said she got all of her supplies from Target and the party supply store.
Lunch was a baked potato bar with chili and a lot of other toppings and there was fruit and Pb & J available for the kids.
It was a beautiful fall day, so we ate a picnic lunch outside in the back yard.
There were monkey cupcakes and a beautiful cake for dessert. (Nicole said the ideas were courtesy of Pinterest.)
The cupcakes are frosted with chocolate, then have a vanilla wafer on top for the mouth area, crackers for the ears, and white chocolate chips for eyes.
The kids were content to play in the yard for a while.
Everyone took home a new Curious George book as a party favor.
We all had a great time and it was a fun memory to make before we sent their family off to serve.
