As we were setting up for Burke’s birthday party at the
park, the Santa Ana winds picked up and blew everything everywhere. Nothing was safe. Brynn was chasing down the cupcake tree,
while grandma was grabbing the treat bags, and I was holding down the tents. Therefore, roughly ten minutes before guests
were expected to arrive we had a venue change.
Cameron was in charge of notifying the guests, I was packing the car,
and grandma was grabbing everything else.
Over the next 15 minutes it was all-hands-on-deck. We moved furniture, cleaned-up, sat out the
food, and found some entertainment.
Everyone showed up on time and pitched in to help. Once everything was set up, the fun began.
The kids wore cute animal ears and played in little camping
tents with woodland stuffed animals.
They pulled toys out of the bins and munched on apple sauce and gold
fish till their stomachs were full. For
the next birthday party I don’t think I will prepare anything else!! Burke loved playing with his friends and
running from room to room to see what was going on.
This was until it was cake time. We put him in his chair and lit the
candle. Fear came over Burke’s eyes
quickly. Burke was petrified and quickly
started to cry and shake. Brynn quickly
blew out the candle in hopes Burke would calm down. The poor guy wanted nothing to do with the
cake with or without the candle, people around, singing…you name it ....he HATED it.

It ended up being a great party with a few friends and
family. It was not exactly what I had
envisioned but it was comfortable and cozy with happy children running around
playing and laughing.
