Eric’s 7th birthday

Wow!! can you believe it??? 7 already?? Since summer he has been insisting on having an army party and this year I decided to actually host the party at our house!!!  (Insert ear piercing scream here!) I made a deal with the hubby that I would only host ii if he would paint our kitchen…So I got my kitchen painted! yay!!! So here’s how the party went… Invitations went out recruiting GI Joes and Jane's to enlist in a special mission to celebrate Eric's birthday. They went out on brown paper with a dog tag cut out as the invitation. Then I got to planning the party…

 

This sign greeted our guests when they entered.

Here is the enlistment office where recruits signed in, got their dog tags, helmet, binoculars, gun with ammo, and tattoo (because all good soldiers have them right?)

The Banner I made for Eric all by myself!!

Base Camp

And this was the firing range… we had other activities too such as parachute drop, air force academy, Missing in Action, and Rescue Mission, but this is generally what happened the whole party…

 

And that was the end of the tent!

 

 

 

We waited until his actual birthday on December 16th to have our family party…

Can you see how excited he is!!

Happy Birthday to my Eric!!
