Fox's 4th Birthday Party

Last September, we attended a birthday party at the "Little Gym" and Fox has not stopped talking about it ever since. So when we asked him a few months ago where he would like to have his party, he didn't hesitate and told us at the "Little Gym". We threw some other ideas out there, but he had made his decision.

This was the first party where a lot of his classmates attended, along with some kids from our regular Mom's group. He was so excited to see all of his school buddies and especially to have his best friend there!

I couldn't stop smiling watching him have so much fun! He loves to be the center of attention and he was eating it up!

For the theme, he changed his mind a few times between last year's party and this year. For the longest time, he wanted to have a space party, followed by a rainbow party, another soccer party, a lollipop party, until he finally decided to have a superhero party. I have the feeling we will have a lot of those coming up in the years to come!

While I made a lot of the decorations myself, the Little Gym had some superhero decorations as well and I was super surprised how themed they made it for him.

We got superhero capes for all of the kids as part of their favors.

Anyone recognize this guy? If you don't, no worries, because literally no one else did either. It was supposed to be the Hulk...haha. 

As always, Grandma Sandie made Fox's cake and she did an amazing job! We basically send her a picture that we find on pinterest and she copies it exactly, she is so talented! Since Fox has a dairy and egg allergy, we got him his favorite cake at a local vegan bakery and decorated it with some superhero figurines. Luckily, he was super happy to have that cake all by himself and didn't get upset that he couldn't have the big cake. 

Favor Bags! We got the kids a cape, some superhero stickers, a batman book, superhero bracelet and a bag of legos, since we kind of themed his party as "Lego Batman".

This was his first party ever, where the parents could truly just sit back and not participate, which was kind of nice, but also kind of weird. These kids are getting so big! I will blink and they are ready to be just dropped off at parties without the parents even staying. 

These boys were so wild together!

If you look at Grandpa in the background, it about sums up his expression during the entire party. He could not stop laughing and had so much fun watching Fox be silly with his friends.

School buddies! I hope they will still be in the same class next year, because Fox has really bonded to them and talks about them all the time.

There were three teachers during the party and they all did such a fantastic job with the kids.

Fox said this was his favorite part of his birthday...dodging fireballs. The teachers would throw buckets of balls at them and the kids had to run back and forth trying not to get hit. They all loved it!

The birthday train is ready to leave for cake time!

After years of paying other people for Fox's birthday shirts, I finally decided to give it a try myself and I was really proud of myself how these turned out.

My love!

Fox had such a great time and seeing his huge smile throughout the party was the best part for me. Of course, he is already planning his next birthday party...but this Mama needs a little break from party planning! :)

I can't believe next year we'll have two birthday parties to plan!
