Alan's Batman Birthday

This year I decided to let Alan have his first friend birthday party. After months of trying to decide what kind of birthday party he wanted he finally picked to have a Batman themed party.

I knew I wanted to keep it kinda small so we limited our guest list to close neighbors who are 4 and will also on Alan's T-ball team leaving us with 6 boys to invite. I love who his invites turned out.

We started off with pass the present. All the presents had 4 or 5 layers and everyone got a Batman cape. Once all the little Batmans were ready we went down into the Batcave.

I decorated the basement with black streamers, a picture of Batman, and about 80 balloons including 12 punch balloons. After running wild with balloons for a while the boys colored treat bags and attached the pinata.
Then it was present time. Alan made out like a bandit but was nice enough to let everyone play with his new toys. This is Alan with his BFF Cade.We ended the party with a little cake and ice cream. Although you can tell I made a two-face cake, chocolate on one side and fun fetti on the other.
That night Scott brought home a little McDonald's for dinner. It was Alan's first Happy Meal.

Boys are having a great time celebrating birthday. Sent invitations online to all my friends with her kids for my doll's birthday next week. Booked one of the high rated rental spaces for parties finally after so much of search. Catering for tea party will be simple and of everyone's common choices. Cake design is a surprise for Cinderella.
