Outdoor Birthday Parties = Rain Every Time

We planned Jack's party to be a swimming party and picked out super cute invitations for it. I didn't stress about this party like I have in the past for Trent's parties. Fran says it's because he is the second child, but I think that I just don't worry about the small stuff anymore. We worked hard to get the house ready for the party in case of rain, and guess what? It rained. We had a fun time, and the big kids swam in the rain anyway, so it was a success. Jack loved every minute of the smash cake. He ate nearly the WHOLE thing, and he cried and cried when we took it away.


Here were the Treat Bags - always the hit of a party. If you have never made Treat Bags, they are a great way to get kids to leave a party without throwing a fit.


It's my birthday! Party like it's my birthday! Jack has his "new" remote and phone from Nana and Pop.


I love this expression! It looks like he is saying, "Who? Me?"


The big kids loved swimming! Who cares if it rains. You get wet anyway!

Jack was tired after a long day of partying. I took a similar picture of Trent on his first birthday! Sweet boy!
