This year, Ryan's Birthday Party was finally all about HIM! Not that he hasn't enjoyed the past 3 years - where we invited all of our friends (mostly adults, and a few kids) over for food and drink to celebrate his big day, but we thought it was time for a change. He has been invited to several of his classmates' parties, and in turn was asking if they could be invited to his party as well. Knowing our house is not big enough to host a true "kids party," I began searching for venues and was delighted to find a local farm where we could do a low key party at a fairly reasonable price. Actually, when I subtract all of the money we have spent on beer the past few years, this year's party was the cheapest yet! And not having it at our house meant no clean up - perfect! We had 16 kids in attendance, ranging in age from 4 1/2 months to 6 years old, with most hovering around age 4. All of the classmates we invited from Ryan's school attended, and he was ecstatic to spend time with them outside of school. It was obvious that these kids spend a lot of time together, they interact so well and are at the age where friendships really are forming and developing. Everyone had a GREAT time! After playing in the hay maze and empty tires for awhile, the kids then explored the petting zoo area, went on a hayride, picked out pumpkins, ate pizza, cake, and played some more. The party was a great success and it was nice getting to know some of Ryan's classmates and their parents a little bit better. And Ryan loved every minute of it...Happy 4th Birthday Ryan!
