Looks like I 'll be doing picture posts recapping all the months I missed opportunities to blog... I guess I should try to blog more don't ya think? Something to think about for the new year I guess. Anyway here is another picture post of all the important stuff that went on in the month of November.... well, here are pics of one huge event that took place in November.
JC's birthday party!!!!!!!!
We held JC's party at the movie theaters on the 2nd of November, even though his actual birthday was in September. One big reason for that was the timing. You have to book the theater ahead of time and by the time I went to reserve our date, there were no dates left, not even in October. So November it was, and no one even cared. JC was so happy... he finally got the party he wanted.
After the movie: The Book of Life
Games
Decor and cake
Time for the pinata
Goody bags and gifts
Time for cake
Happy birthday!!!!

The party was a HUGE hit... no one had ever done a party like this before in our circle nor attended one quite like it. I loved the fact that everything was done or provided for me and so I didn't have to do much of anything at all, except show up.
Since I did want to customize the party a little bit so JC could have a Super Mario party, I did a few DIY decor for the party guests: I printed Mario photos for the pinata, made a Mario banner, got gold chocolate coins and glued Mario faces to them for each kid, printed up mario mustaches for each kid to take home and made chocolate covered marshmallows as thank you favors with Luigi thank you favor tags.
The theater did everything else: the cake and candles, decor, pinata and candy, the food (popcorn and chocolate for the kids, chicken fingers and fries for the adults), goody bags and goodies, games, and don't forget the movie. As a nice surprise, they also gave a gift to the birthday boy (an ice age t-shirt and a water bottle). It was an amazing day.
