Casen's 5th Birthday Party

Even though Casen's birthday is not for a few more weeks, today we had his birthday party. With him having a summer birthday, it is easier to have one before school is out so that his friends have not yet left on summer vacation and are able to come and celebrate with him. After much deliberation, and going back and forth, he finally decided that he wanted an Avengers Party.

We decided to have his party at Pump It Up this year, and it turned out to be a good choice. Unfortunately my parents are out of town celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary, so mom was not able to make his cake (which I have a feeling she might be doing a little happy dance over that). So we instead ordered a cookie cake.

We spent the first half of his party in a room with all sorts of fun inflatables. Then we moved to a different room where we had a glow party. Since Casen loves to dance, we decided we would have a little fun. Each child got a glow necklace and they turned off the lights and played music while the kids played in the dark with black lights on inflatables. Casen thought it was really fun!

Afterwards, everyone joined in the party room for pizza, chips, popcorn and of course cookie cake.

I think his expression shows
just how much he loved his party.

We then came home, along with Shane's family, and Casen opened up all his gifts. He was excited to get all sorts of fun toys to play with!

















Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate Casen! He really enjoyed his day!
