Just a Little Birthday Party

J was so excited to have a birthday party! Since his sister's party two months ago, he has been obsessed with his party.  I didn't know what exactly to do for his party.  The two things he wanted was for it to be at his house and to be a Batman party.

I didn't want to invite too many kids but wasn't sure who to invite.  We could invite some form church, some from the neighborhood, and some from school.  But, Josh can never remember his friends' names from school and I didn't want to invite the whole class, so that ruled out them.  And, with the neighborhood kids, there were a few that Josh likes a lot.  But, as we haven't had too many playdates this summer with them, they aren't real fresh on his mind.  (of course, in the last week we have-but I didn't really want to invite 6 more people at the last minute) So, that left the church group and I figured that would be a good manageable group.

The one thing I did that probably was a mistake was to invite all the 3/4 year olds but also added to the invitation that the older kids could stay too if they wanted.  Well, they all stayed.  So, instead of the three  kids that I thought we were going to have the day before, we ended up with 13.  Oh well, the more the merrier and it ended up being a great time.

Happy Birthday Boy!
