I can't believe it's been over a month. So, quick party highlights. The Boy turned four last month. He'd helped me decide on airplanes and helicopters for the party theme. (Note: he's planned out the themes for his next 12-15 birthday parties. I think #18 is supposed to be a space theme.)
Party Favors. I missed getting pictures of the goody bags, but I was able to find airplane and helicopter themed books at a variety of reading levels for the 1- to 8-year olds that were at the party. I also included these cute little foam airplanes.
The Cookies. I featured the Birthday Airplane Cookies in a post last month.
The Cake: We added helicopters (and that awesome helipad made by Uncle Chris!) to a two tier cake by Nothing Bundt Cakes.
Activities included the art table, bubbles, sidewalk chalk and various backyard games. We also had paper airplanes. I love the feel of a relaxed backyard party with lots of different options.
The Outfits. Bonus pics of The Girl and The Boy in previous posts.

That last picture is so sweet. What a great shot!

Post authorThank you, Bernie. They are great buddies. And as for capturing it on film, this falls into the category of "if you take enough photos, you're bound to get something good," a tenet that is SO important when photographing two small kids that never stop moving!

Where did you find the helicopters? My son is turning 6 and is obsessed with helicopters.
