Yesterday was Travis' 5th birthday party and it was INSANE! We had over 80 people at the party....and 30 of those were kids! Travis had chosen a SpongeBob theme-including the cake of course! My family came over before the party started to help out with cooking etc as well as giving Travis a few of his gifts. No shock here that he was all about the gifts! It took a lot of convincing on my part to get him to NOT open the Legos my parents gave him before the party started…..600+ pieces and 30 kids? No thanks. LOL In the hour before the party Travis must have asked 20 times if his friends were there yet. Finally the time came and the kids started to arrive!
We had all of the food and drink ready to go when people started to show up. There were kids from the neighborhood, his old class at school, his new class at school and our friends kids that he plays with. It was funny to watch the cliques form at such an early age. There were kids all over the place….the family room, the deck, the back yard and the basement! Thankfully there were very few issues with all those kids around. Don’t get me wrong there were some tears but with 30 kids it could have been a lot worse! The piñata was a huge hit as always but next time I should really get 2 since there seem to be so many kids that were only able to get a few pieces of candy. After the piñata the kids were ready for cake! There was a slight issue with Travis since some other kids were crowding the cake and he was worried they were going to blow out his candles. I reminded him that’s what kids do and he was fine.
The party was a great success and Travis finally went to bed at almost 10pm!
