I love doing fun things with and for my kids. One of my absolute faves is planning birthday parties.
The thing that makes planning birthday parties easier for me is choosing a theme.
The thing that makes planning birthday parties even EASIER is repeating the theme.
I have 3 boys, and for each of their 2nd birthday parties they have had ELMO themed parties.
I KNOW, I'm such a slacker!
I actually considered Spence's birthday request for a Wiggles themed party, but breathed a quiet sigh of relief when he told me he wanted Elmo instead.
So, this is what I did for the Elmo themed birthday. Elmo greeted everyone at the front door, holding balloons.
The coffee/tea/beverage table in my dining room had stuffed Elmos and decorations on it.
The game we played was "Pin the NOSE on the ELMO". It was pretty easy - just red bristol board, with an orange nose, black mouth and white eyes.
The craft was definitely a hit at the party.
Here is the birthday boy, creating his masterpiece. I pre-cut the noses & mouths, and the rest was up to the kiddies to decide...
Then of course we had to have Cake!
And once chaos was over & done with, everyone was sent home with a special loot bag...
with their own Elmo cookie mix to make at home.
What a wonderful day we had...can't believe my baby is growing up so fast.
One thing's for sure...no matter how big he gets, he'll always be my baby...
Happy Birthday to you my little buddy!
