We let the kids do friend birthday parties on the even years of their birthdays. This year Cade turned 8 and Alex is turning 6. They wanted to do their party at trampoline world, an awesome gymnastics place they take a class at. With the cost of a party at trampoline world, we decided to combine their birthday parties and they could each invite 6 friends. We held it in May, since it's between their birth months.
We had a blast! {commence picture overload}
First the cake- I told the boys they had to agree on a cake. I wasn't about to make two cakes. I convinced them of this one. It may look impressive, but it was just one big mess of cake underneath. Since I drizzled hot frosting over the whole thing I didn't have to worry about it being too crumbly to frost. Add some chocolate rocks and some hard sugar pyroclastic flows = awesome chocolate cake!
The party was organized really well. When all your guests come you have a holding room for cake, presents, and all the shoes. The kids get to start playing right away, and had 1 hour and 45 minutes of fun. They were all tired when it was time to head up to the cake room. We got 45 minutes to do cake and presents. Perfect!
Most of these pictures are brought to you by Dan, who was out there with the kids the whole time. I'm so glad he did because my pictures were just of tiny little kids jumping around. He got some great shots!
