Birthday Extravaganza!

So the kiddo has truly had a birthday extravaganza! We have had SO much fun celebrating him. It started last weekend when we went to NC for a visit… B’s mom came over Friday evening with some gifts, cake, ice cream and, of course- he loved all the gifts. Saturday, my grandma (his GREAT grandma) had a big party planned- the theme: Spongebob Square Pants, or as Lo likes to call him “Bob-Bob!” She had bought all the décor, cake, ice cream and LOTS of food. Family came over as well as a lil’ friend of Lo’s that wasn’t going to be able to make it for the TN. Bash! Needless to say, the party was a hit and he (we) had SO much fun!! It was so nice getting to see family that I haven’t seen in a while, especially for Logan because I want him to remember who they are. Here are some pictures from his SBSP: NC b’day EXTRAVAGANZA.
This past week was, I don't guess I would say hectic- but it was nearing hectic, lol. It was the week of his b’day party and there was so much to be done. We had to finish buying his presents because we felt like everything we had was not nearly enough, we had tons of crafts to execute and although you don’t think time will run out, it most certainly does, we worked right up until the people started pulling in for the party and, of course- I DID NOT HAVE MY PARTY ATTIRE ON!!! (Next year, hopefully, I will do better, lol!) The party was a HUGE success and SO much fun. I loved seeing everything come together just like I had imagined, only better! The theme was: Scooby-Doo (one of his, if not THE most favorite thing!). We decorated our house like a haunted house, with a graveyard out front, cobwebs and ghostly lights on the front porch leading up to our door where our house sign read: 1114 Coolsville Way. On the inside we decorated with cobwebs, inflatable spiders, ghosts and bats. Candles glowing to give a slightly scary feel with little signs that read: jinkies, ruh-roh, zoinks, jeepers, Rappy Rirthday Rogan and Logan is Two! Scooby-Doo ballons were all over, a Scooby-Doo birthday banner was hung over the food table with Scooby Doo plates, napkins, cups and tablecloth (on the PRIZE table). We served pizza, tombstone cheeseball with ghost crackers (made from tortilla’s cut out with a ghost cookie cutter and baked), ghost cookies, Hershey kisses with stickers on the bottom label with the number 2, his initials and name in various Scooby-Doo colors, chips, home-made cupcake with home-made almond butter icing colors purple, teal and orange wrapped with handmade wrappers that we crafted to look like Scooby’s collar topped with ghost and Scooby-Doo spinners. Lo’s cake was a haunted house cake that we made with the Mystery Machine, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo to- it turned out AWESOME!! We played pin the eyes on the ghost and Scooby-Doo ring toss. Everyone got tat-DOO’s and their picture took while “searching for clues.” (On a side note: I was dressed Daphne-like, B like a modern day Freddy and Lo as our lil’ Shaggy!!) Logan was beyond excited about “prize time”- he opened every present and LOVED them ALL, especially his BIG TRACTOR- yes, my child is in Heaven and NEVER wants to leave the house now. Upon departure everyone received a little thank you and a bag of Scooby snacks (bone shaped graham crackers with “Scooby” on them) tied with Scooby-Doo colors as well as a treat back that included: a flash light, a magnifying glass, a glow stick, a Scooby-Doo wrist band, a Scooby-Doo mini coloring poster, Scooby tat-doo’s, a ghost straw and Scooby gummies. We had an absolute blast, it was a great party- everything turned out beautiful. By that evening we three were ready to crash and we did just that- we three went to bed with happy hearts. (Surely, y’all can’t tell that I LOVE to throw a party, right?!?) Here are some pictures from the Scooby-Doo: The Mystery of Lo’s Birthday- in no particular order just various pictures from the event, as promised.
