Yesterday we celebrated Nolan's 4th Birthday with a Construction themed birthday party out at the cabin for family and a few friends. Nolan's been really into "Mighty Machines" and tools lately, so he was elated to see all the different machines and decorations as part of his party.
Nolan helped plan the menu for his party. He picked a "Build" your own sandwich bar, mac and cheese, pigs in a blanket, lemonade, traffic light brownies and chocolate construction site cake.
Somewhere along the line, I got it in my head to make a bulldozer pinata for the party. I found a tutorial online and it seemed easy enough. NEVER AGAIN! It was a piddly, time consuming task to take a few cereal boxes, an oatmeal canister, and a few Powerade bottles, paper mache them, paint them, and cover it in crepe paper. By the time I was done with it, I was more than ready to watch it get smashed. Nolan thought it was "beautiful" and was so excited to smash it open for the candy.
Nolan was sure a lucky boy and had many generous and fun presents to open! His buddy, Isaac, helped him open them up and it was fun see their excitement.
It was such a nice time - relaxing and fun. Nolan had so much fun and it was fun to have a special day to celebrate our special little boy. Can't believe he's four already! Happy Birthday, sweet Nolan!
