GI JOE Birthday Party

I survived, in case you were wondering.

Finally the boys' birthdays and parties are done! This year we did the boys party together since they wanted some of the same friends to come. I don't know why I stress out so much beforehand (actually I do, it's because making cakes stresses me out.), but it was really easy and fun once we got started.

Grenade water balloon fight

So much fun and SOOO glad we didn't get rained out!

You're a regular Aunt Marilyn with a cake like that...she always made such creative and fun cakes for our parties. Your kids will remember that for years to come!

Looks like fun! And it brings back memories of birthday parties I did for my kids. Thank goodness it didn't rain! That would've been some hand grenade toss in the living room!
