Yesterday we celebrated James’ 5th birthday, and it was truly awesome. We always tend to go a bit overboard for his birthdays, but this was something else. A huge thank you to Party with the Warriors, Icing Smiles, the face painter, and everyone else that made this such a fun party. I think the kids will be talking about this for a long time. The adults may, too!

The pictures below are ours. I say that because there was also a professional photographer there. None of the pictures below are his. Rumor has it that his pictures will be used for a blog post on Spaceships & Laser Beams. I will have to share that article when it’s published.

 

Colorful wooden birthday sign hanging on a glass‑paneled door, decorated with balloons, a party hat, a green star, and a small felt monkey, with “Happy Birthday James” written across the center.

Assortment of decorated sugar cookies featuring superhero‑style designs, including Superman‑inspired emblems with different letters and numbers, black‑and‑yellow Batman symbols, red Spider‑Man faces, and bright comic‑book words like “BAM” and “ZAP,” arranged on a countertop with some packaged in clear bags.

Thanks again to everyone that made this such an amazing and fun party. And thanks to those of you who were able to attend. We hope you had as much fun as we did.
