This was Landon's 1st year to have a friend-only party. I must admit, I am very fearful of birthday parties. They can get so out of control... throwing them and going to them. So, under hesitation I decided to "try " throwing Landon one that was simple.
He invited 7 friends from school for a movie-themed party. Our feature film was "How to Train Your Dragon". We made "cars" for the kids to sit in like a drive in movie theatre, we exchanged tickets for concessions and had hot dogs for dinner. We had a coloring station for "down-time", served a popocorn cake (thanks Kim Knapp for the idea!) and even borrowed a popcorn machine (thanks Kim Family). We had 3 stretching/bathroom breaks and served seconds and thirds of popcorn. Last minute, I even thought to start my crock pot (thanks Jenny!) with some bean & chicken soup for the few parents that stayed to visit. Lots of yummy food = happy guests!
We all had a great time... and I might actually do it again!
