Well, here we are - just a short four months since we celebrated my son's ninth birthday - and I've finally gotten around to collecting a few pictures to document his big day.
The birthday boy requested a chocolate chip cookie cake, but I wanted it to match the lime theme, so I tinted the icing a bit. I served a baked shrimp + homemade limeade, recipes for both came from Nellie and Joe's website. My daughter loved the shrimp + the limeade, but our guest wasn't a big fan, so hot dogs were a welcomed back-up. Later on during the day, we took a dip in the neighborhood pool. Mr. Big Stuff had a really fun day!
I took a few pictures of him the night before his birthday + these are a few of my favorites.
My big plan was to have a joint birthday party for both kids + combine all of the lemon decor from my daughter's party + the lime decor from this part. But when party time came around, I couldn't get any of the foil balloons to inflate (for a second time) so I quickly gave up on the idea of decorating, all together. But the party was a fun one!!
