Since Daniel turned 5 this year we went ahead and did a party with his friends. I was super anxious but I think he had a great time and that is what matters. Dan wanted a truck party so did some simple decorations and we invited his friends from school and a couple from our playgroup.
We planned a couple games but we also got a pool which was a big hit! Dan, Barrett, Oliver and Charlie loved the water! Liam, Tanner and Ky didn't want to go in the water but they had fun playing the construction cone ring toss game and the other boys would throw the beach balls out and the other kids would throw them back. It was sweet to watch them find a way to all play together.
We had 2 other games- the marshmallow toothpick game and a digging game. The digging game was a huge hit. The kids each got a shovel and got to dig for the prizes for their goodie bags. The mess was huge and made me so happy we used packing peanuts instead of dirt! The marshmallow game wasn't as popular but the kids definitely loved eating the marshmallows!
After the games we had cupcakes and the kids enjoyed the pool until it was time to leave. I wasn't even going to attempt a group picture but I did get a picture of Dan with everyone who came to his party.

After all his friends left we did presents as a family. He loved all of his presents and it was a lot of fun opening them!
Thank you to everyone who came and helped make our boy feel special on his birthday!
