This was how I decorated the kitchen for his party. I also made homemade lemonade and five flavors of koolaid frozen for the ice cubes. The whole party had a color theme. Everything was red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Everything from the balloons to ice cubes and plates and napkins to the animal coloring books I made. We had tables set up on the deck for the kids with balloons and coloring books and kid-friendly finger foods.
I want to point out Jacob's smash cake that we made to match his big cake. This was a huge undertaking! I saw a picture in a magazine and was bound and determined that I was making Jacob a three-tier birthday cake. I could not have done it without Clay and Heather. I made the icing from scratch from a receipe that Melanie uses all the time to make cakes. That took forever! Clay had a blast coloring the icing, and Heather is amazing at icing layers. We did not go to bed until well after midnight that night.
Clay blew up balloons, and we covered the floor under the table with them. It was a hit with the kids.
How awesome is this shot! Jacob and Perrin were playing under the table.
