Tucker's 4th Birthday Party

We had Tucker's 4th Birthday Party this past weekend. This was a big day for him. It was his first birthday party to have friends from his school attend. Usually, we just invite family and our close friends and their children, but this year we decided to expand and invite the kids from his class too! Even his teacher, Ms. Jana, came to the party. Everyone, including Chris and I, had a great time and enjoyed meeting some of the other kids and their parents. Even baby Margaret Grace got in on the action and if I am not mistaken, this was her first time attending a birthday party.

Every time I asked Tucker what kind of birthday party he wanted to have, I got a different answer. So this year, I just combined all the "themes" he said. Therefore, we cooked hot dogs on the grill, rented a bouncer/slide, and had cake and cupcakes. He had a Thomas cake and I also made Spiderman cupcakes. There were Spongebob, Star Wars, Batman and Spiderman decorations as well.


This cake was so adorable. I almost didn't want to cut it.

Going down the slide. The slide/bouncer combo was a huge success. At first, all the kids just kept running immediately to the slide and would not bounce. But by the end of the night everyone was bouncing and sliding.


Even Boo joined in on the fun.


In case you are wondering why all the children look wet, it did start to rain during the party and all the kids got wet while trying to get out of the bouncer. It only rained for about 10 minutes so we used that time for present opening and cake eating. My wonderful nephew-in-law got in the bouncer while Tucker opened his presents and towel dried the inside so the kids were able to get back in right after cake time! Thanks for the hard work Adam!
I think this may have been the most successful birthday party to date! I can't believe my baby will be 4 this Wednesday! Where has the time gone?

Happy Birthday Tucker! MG made an appearance at Max's birthday party, but she slept the entire time.

That's right Allison! She was there wasn't she? I guess since she slept the entire time, I forgot. I will have to print a retraction! Let me know how the sleep appointment goes. Good Luck.
