Jayce's 5th Birthday Party

Well, we had a great time at Jayce's party! I get a just a little excited about these parties some would say and this one was really a fun theme to do! We had a backyard camp out (not a real one, just for a few hours :))... This year Jayce wanted to have mainly the boys, and we needed to keep it on a smaller scale since we were doing it at the house so this worked out well. We had a tent set up, roasted hot dogs, wore safari/camo hats, and the kids all got a camo bag (the girls in pink of course) to gather their loot from the scavenger hunt we did! We ate "Dirt cake" complete with worms spilling out of the top and this was a BIG HIT! The kids AND ADULTS loved it surprisingly! The kids all got flashlights and bug kits to play with as it turned dark towards the end and to take home to play camp out in their own backyards! At the very end, as I was absolutely exhausted, my nephew said to me, "Aunt Christyn, next year when Jayce turns 6, can we do this again just like this? It was the funnest party I've ever been to!" I know he says this to all of them, but it sure made me feel good inside! I think birthdays should be a big deal and always want my boys to feel SUPER special on their big days! This year was a simple but super fun way to celebrate!
