On his actual birthday, we took Avery to lunch at Red Robin, but the day was otherwise completely unimportant. As far as Avery was concerned, and as he kept telling everyone he met, that was only his birthday, NOT his birthday party day. Clearly turning 5 is far less important than having a party!

Emmett's ready to party! The only other decoration we had
was a Transformer poster hanging over the kitchen table.

This is the first year we've bought a cake instead of me making one. It was
expensive and it didn't taste very good, but it was cool and Avery was happy.

Blowing out the candles. And yes, Avery wore his Bumblebee costume for the party.

Pinata! Yeah, that didn't last long as it was pretty dangerous,
so each kid had 2 turns then Travis made good with the candy.

Obviously these were personalized per child.

Glad you had a great birthday, Avery!
