Harper's 5th Birthday Bash: 300Bowl

Every year, the theme of Harper's party has been an obvious choice. And, this year was no different. He is obsessed with hunting and fishing, but having an August birthday in Texas makes an outdoor party difficult. So after lots of talking he decided that he wanted a bowling party. It took him a while to commit to one type of party. Birthdays are a BIG deal in our family so I understand why he had such a hard time! I quickly got busy on the invitations and cake...

The party was on Sunday afternoon so he could hardly wait for the fun to begin. It is hard to wait until 3pm to have your party! He couldn't wait to play with all of his buddies at such a cool place...and he LOVED helping me make the plates and party favors for the party. 

When we arrived at the bowing alley they had overlooked our party. Thankfully we arrived early to decorate, so they were able to quickly get everything ready. The Birthday boy was beyond excited hyper and did not want to wait for all of his friends to arrive to get the party started!

We tried "regular" bowling at first, but even the 5lb ball was a little tough. The bowling alley had these awesome ramps made for kids. The kids just had to place the ball on the ramp and then pushed it down.  My kind of bowling...with bumpers too!!

I love watching Harper's facial expressions when we all sang Happy Birthday. He got embarrassed at first, but loved blowing out the candles!

 

He loved all the special attention and love he received during the party. He has the sweetest friends and family who gave him lots of attention!!

Look at these cute party guests!!!

It was really the most precious thing to stand back and watch my sweet first born enjoy his party. Thank you God for this happy boy and thanks to everyone in attendance who helped us make fun memories.
