We celebrated Austin's 6th birthday with a super fun fidget spinner party on Saturday! He requested a party at home, with the water slide, and finally decided on fidget spinners as his theme. ☺ Despite the craziness of trying to pull off a party at home after the first month of school and my first time back in the classroom as the real teacher in 8 years (and a minor crisis with the cake), we pulled it off and our birthday boy had a super awesome party. YAY!!
Megan created our invites again and did a perfect job as always! Her work is the best!
Pre-party family pic! The big boys enjoyed 4 days of water slide fun since the slide was delivered on Friday and because of the long weekend wasn't picked up until Monday evening. (Layton never did the big slide... he preferred the baby pool and little slide, haha!) Big, BIG thanks to Granna and Papa for providing Austin's party entertainment for the 6th year in a row! Next year we're providing the entertainment!!
I loved the colors for this party. They were just bright and fun. And the cake table turned out perfect. It was basically my main decor spot and was super easy to put together.
The cake turned out amazing and just like Austin wanted! We avoided a major last minute disaster with the cake but everything worked out and it was so good and one of our favorites!
Even though the theme was a little different it was super easy to plan for. Spinners for favors was a hit with the kiddos and easy for mama. #winwin
In the dining room I threw some plastic tablecloths and extra spinners on the tables and that was it. Nothing fancy or complicated but just right for the party. Austin was so sweet telling me thank you and being so impressed with everything. ☺ I'm really glad we made the effort to give him the party he wanted. We were tempted to skip the home party this year
Our outdoor set-up.
And this year we decided to let the kiddos eat outside. They're dripping wet and eager to get back on the slide anyway, so it just made more sense.
Our birthday boy!
Party guests! ☺
Terrell grilled hotdogs and we had chips and fruit. Good end of summer food.
Time for presents!
He got lots of goodies off his wish list and some shopping money too. He was pretty excited about all of his gifts.
My favorite part of every party... singing Happy Birthday to my babies. And I love this shot of him grinning at me! #allthehearteyes
Action shot mid-song. ☺
Love!
Layton assumes he gets to blow out candles on every cake at every birthday party. Haha!
The cake was soo good and so worth the last minute craziness. YUM! After the kiddos scarfed down their cake and ice cream they ran back out to the slide.
Including Baby Girl! #hollywood #cutestthingever
Austin had such a fun party and declared it the best ever. ☺ He was so appreciative of everything and thanked us multiple times. We worked hard to pull it off and it was definitely worth it. Yay for another fun and successful birthday party celebrating our most favorite middle man!
(I'm hoping to recap more of his birthday next week, but have given myself a lenient goal of making it happen before the end of the month. Haha. Beginning of the school year busyness and exhaustion is still upon us and mama is still adjusting to our new normal.)
Happy Friday, Happy Weekend!!
