Connor's 5th Birthday Party

This year Connor had a bowling party with a few of his best buds. 

Harper, Connor, Hudson, Emily, Jackson, and Carson

This seriously was one of the easiest and most fun parties we have had. One of my favorite blogs (Dixie Delights) had thrown a bowling party for her son and shared all the details.  I started with purchasing the activity books she sells on her Etsy store and with the help of her blog had a plan to spruce up the bowling alley with a few easy decorations.  

The activity books were the perfect thing for kids to do while waiting for their next turn to bowl.  I also printed out a few coloring sheets that seemed to be a hit with this crowd.

We also had out some popcorn snacks to enjoy between bowls.

In typical fashion, Connor took the game very seriously, but managed to take one quick break to pose for a photo.  I love his intensity!

These kids seriously had the cutest ways to bowl. It was hilarious to watch their method to get the ball down to the pins!

We put all the "big" kids on one lane while Carson and Jackson bowled with the moms. 

In the end Harper and Kaimey were the winners!

We ended the party with cupcakes and presents.

"Happy Birthday to you!"

Connor got some cool gifts.  His friends (and their moms!) know him well. :)

Love these boys!

Last, but not least, a big thanks goes out to Mimi who was a huge help during the party.  From setting up to being a toddler wrangler for all the runaways (C&J) :) to passing out cupcakes and everything in between. We couldn't have done it without you!  Thank you, Mimi!
