Nathan turned 5 yesterday - we had a party today. There were 10 kids here including Nathan and Jared. This is the front of the invitation. The theme was apples, with inspiration from the book "Ten Apples Up on Top" by Dr. Seuss. (Nathan loves apples - I had everyone bring an apple instead of a card.)
Nathan got a nerf gun - it turned out to be a big hit ;) especially with Alex.
The kids each had a "hat" to wear with 5 apples on it.
cupcakes that are supposed to look like apples
We played hot potato with an apple. (Jared was excited when the music stopped and he had the apple. "I got it!") We also played sort the apples, using green, red, and yellow apples - who could sort them the fastest, and we set up a cardboard ramp to have apple races.
His new favorite seems to be Transformers.
We gave him a bike.
the gift favors - construction paper apples sewn with thread around the edges, filled with gummy worms and apple flavored candy

So cute! Love the way you tied everything together. I'm in the midst of trying to come up w/ a theme for L's b-day, so hopefully I can be as creative.
Wow! I know who to call when I need a birthday party planned in February when Isaiah turns 6. Very cute.
Life is good when you're five!
