When Your Birthday's on Thanksgiving

When your birthday's on Thanksgiving and you don't like to eat real food,

it surely could make for one unhappy dude.

So we planned a party to make it fun,

 the theme was a camping one. 

Too bad for us it rained that whole entire day,

but we made do inside, and that's where we had to play.

My assistants, Victoria and Karissa, made it worth our while. 

They carried the party on and they did it with style!

Air hockey, balloon toss, car race and scavenger hunt,

the snacks and cupcake decorating were very popular with this bunch!

Don't forget the tent made out of a sheet

and of course the indoor pinata was everyone's favorite treat!

It was tons of fun and now it's done.

Now we can have Thanksgiving, the same as any other one.

The cupcakes were supposed to have a fishing rod (pretzel) and a fish (gold fish), but we decided to serve them plain and put the snacks out with them. I showed the kids the rod and fish and they went to town decorating their cupcakes with pretzels and gold fish!

Present opening!

Playing our final game. Victoria got Erik a pig that passes gas in the middle of the song it sings (it's hilarious!) You pass the pig around and if your holding it when it passes gas, you're out. It was the funniest ever! The boys loved it!

Part of our goodie bag gifts. The note says "Thanks for making my party s'more fun!" It included the makings for s'mores. It was in a bag with a flashlight, a snake toy, and the candy from the pinata. This cutie in the picture is Victor. His brother is Dallin, Austin's best friend. Austin was at Dallin's party the same time as Erik's party, which was why he wasn't pictured.
