smith family...our crazy life: one, two, three, FOUR!!!

my promise to myself this year was to have a low key celebration for jackson's bday. we have had big fun in years past and thought since we were going to disney right before, that would be a good way to enjoy the time. WRONG!!! of course this would be THE year that jackson "gets" his birthday. i should have known better. one look at his sad face when i told him we were not having a party with his friends and i cowered down. i convinced myself that i could do a "simple" party at the park. WRONG again!

i just don't have it in me to do things small....so i did it smaller than i usually would. so it went from just cupcakes at the park, nothing else to ...well i need to do a party favor if everyone is coming and i forgot to say "no gift", but there will be no theme, no theme to the at all.

Lastly, WRONG again.....i found these adorable dino masks online while i was searching for party favor ideas and i just had to get them! hahaha. i REALLY should know better!!

so that finally lead to a dino themed park party with masks, favors, custom dino picks for the cupcakes, drinks....oh, and balloons! so i did not do table clothes, printed invitations or a sheilas cake..... i did modify this year, but my motto is now "GO big or Go home!!!

all in all, it was a great afternoon for littleman with all his peeps. i love them all. thank u to everyone that made the party so special. we love you littleman....u r our best boy ever! four years has flown by and you have filled it with more joy than we have had in thirty! xoxo
