FOUR!!!

Grady turned 4 on Dec. 18, 2011 and we had a fantastic rocket ship birthday party. I love house parties!
Grady insisted we invite his favorite buddies. Tyler 8 Eric 13
Balloon guy, worth every penny, he was a huge hit. The hardest part was waiting your turn. He made a dinosaur, a puppy dog, a ladybug, and a sword outfit including a helmet, belt and sword. He also made rocket ships!
Last summer, we attended a local carnival as a family. A scout group had a booth where the kids built rockets with construction paper and sponges. Kalia and Grady loved the activity and even got the firemen involved. They shot their rockets 200 ft into air and got them stuck in the surrounding trees. The firemen used their fire fighting tools to help get them out of the trees. Grady decided it would be awesome to have a rocket birthday party. Sean built the launcher and the week before Grady's birthday party and we spent every evening outside in front of the house shooting rockets into the dark sky. (note to self - glow in the dark stickers!)
Grady was very specific about the theme of the birthday party. And a rocket ship birthday cake was a must. Sean and I had a great time making and decorating our first "theme" cake and Grady loved it.
