Noah's Birthday Party

Ok, I know it's already been 2 weeks. I'm slow. So I wanted to plan a really good birthday party. In reality, I know it was for the adults but I also thought it was a good way to see some friends before we move.
I originally wanted to go w/ a Noah's Ark theme but I thought our next kids would feel like they were missing out b/c they didn't have a name that could be used like that. So it became a jungle party. I wish I had taken pictures of the food, but I had frozen chocolate bananas, animal crackers, dirt (pudding) w/ worms, animal shaped cookies. I went all out. I had a monkey pinata and a Curious George cake (b/c no place has an actual "jungle" themed cake:( ).
We had it at my brother-in-law's place, so we were able to go swimming, fire up the grill, and play volleyball if we wanted.
The birthday boy had a hard time b/c he was still sick. He slept most of it, but luckily he was able to swim a little and play with his cake. Weirdly enough, he wasn't interested in touching the cake.

It was also the same day of Danny's graduation, but it was a lot of fun. :)

Here are some pics:


This was Noah's 1st time in the pool & he was totally uniterested. This drove me crazy b/c I'm always soaking wet after his baths b/c he loves to splash so much.



It was nice b/c Danny's brother & family surprised all by coming down that weekend from Texas.


My parents were able to drive down from Albuquerque for the day.



Noah's smash cake (that was free) and his b-day cake.



Noah & his 4 foot high pinata. I loved the size of it b/c it only cost $20! They even had a 5 foot one! You can tell Noah was out of it.



Martin decided he needed to try on the monkey head. Very creepy looking!!



Noah with all of his birthday presents. Thanks everybody!!
