Ezra's Birthday Party

December 13, 2011

Ezra has been wondering when his birthday party would be ever since he saw me working on stuff for L&L's birthday party. It's hard to explain to a little guy that we don't get big parties every year. I am a big first birthday kind of a girl. After that I do family (just the people that live under my roof) parties until the kids are older and let them have some friends from school and church over. Like I said little guys don't understand this and he saw all the work I put into L&L's party, it didn't seem fair to leave him party-less! So I decided to do something small....real small i.e. his cousin Ivy and the Morris kids. The Morris family just moved over to our side of town!!!!! I am so excited! Her kids are older than Ezra but they are so sweet to him and really make him feel special!!! Just how you want to feel on your birthday.

I wanted to make it simple and not spend too much. The kids watched the new Cars movie and had a picnic (big blanket in front of the T.V.) while Stacie and I enjoyed each others company. It was great!!!

I saw this cute sandwich idea online. The kids thought it was pretty cool!

When I asked Ezra what he wanted to have at his his party he said "rollie balls" i.e. cheese balls....you know those crunchy, greasy, disgustingly delicious things that come in a HUGE tub at your local bulk store. Yes, those. The kids went NUTS over them. Stacie also tries to feed her kids healthy so it was a big treat!

Ezra was pretty excited about everything!

I let the kids decorate their own cupcakes. It was a big hit with the kids and one less thing for me to do! I made little checkered flags and cars cake toppers.

Maddi proud of her masterpiece!
