Catch-up: Scott's Awesome Birthday Party

After our Memorial Day BBQ, Scott was hanging out, and we were all playing Dr. Mario (Man, do I love Dr. Mario!). Anyway, Scott mentioned that his birthday was coming up and that he was sure it was going to be super lame. So, I asked him what his ultimate birthday would be like. Surprisingly, he said that he would love to have a party with a bouncy house and a pinata.

The weeks past, and I decided to give Scott his party but to make it a SURPRISE. So, I invited friends, made a menu, ordered the bouncy house, made a cake and picked up the pinata. Lisa and I collaborated to get Scott to our house and man, was he surprised!

The bouncy house was SO MUCH FUN! If you ever see a bouncy house for sale, call me! I think the big kids loved it more than the babies. Beating the pinata was fun, but the adults didn't really want the candy. I made Scott a lemon cake with strawberries, cream cheese filling and a vanilla buttercream icing. He happily decorated his own cake wreck.

It was a great day. Here are the pics:

Looks like you guys had a great time!

I love parties w/bounce houses. Whenever we rent one for a bday party we (some of the adults) take advantage of the time when the kids are eating cake & take over the bounce house :)
