We celebrated Rush’s 4th birthday last week, starting with his family dinner. He selected his very favorite meal, red beans and rice with cornbread and honey: how very southern of him.
Saturday was his Toy Story party. The plan was to bring balloons, pizza, and cupcakes to the park, but Saturday was the one drizzly, hot day amidst stretches of windy spring days. Around lunchtime we decided to relocate to our house.
It turns out that the very easiest way to have a party at your house is to change locations a few hours prior to party time. All cleaning-up stress is alleviated because everyone know it was a last minute change; forgiveness is assumed. We tied the balloons around the house, turned on some music, and got down to 4-year-old party business. The only addition to the party was asking my parents to pick up a rubber snake from the dollar store and grabbing one of Trent’s old boots for a rousing game of “There’s a Snake in My Boots”. All kids really need for a successful party is a space to play…and cupcakes.
Trent’s sisters Kelley and Kim-
made the most fabulous Toy Story cupcakes.
We are eternally grateful.
Happy Birthday to our big four year old Rush/Woody/Buzz Lightyear!

ReplyDelete1) Happy Birthday Rush!
2) My also apparently super southern Wren's birthday dinner request -- green beans, macaroni and cheese, and pork ribs, with her birthday cake being a sweet potato pie...
3)I really like your hair in that braid. Super cute!
yes, your hair looks soooo good in that braid. wear it every single day.
ReplyDeleterush = a combination of pop and jimmers. pop's perfect birthday dinner and jimmer's perfect party theme (cowboys). evidently RUSH was the correct name choice for that little guy
