Kollmans 5th Birthday Party

Every year I let the kids decide what theme they want for their birthday party...this year Kollman chose Cars. We invited his friends from his Sunday School class...along w/ our cousins Carter and Cameron and a few older kids that we are close to. I thought I was going to be so smart and have a jumpie house in the back yard along with our sand table and play house....thinking they would spend the majority of their time out there! HA! The morning started out overcast....but by the time the party began by 10AM the clouds were gone. The kids jumped and played outside ... but not for very long! We are not used to this Texas weather yet...and quickly learned that Jumpie Houses do not work well in July! Hopefully it will be cool enough in October for our Halloween party! At this point..that is up for debate! Good thing we had a play room they could play in! You would be surprised...it was actually pretty clean even with all of them playing in there! Goodness knows they all had plenty to play with! He and his friends enjoyed lunch together....pizza, pasta salad, frozen grapes, chips and dip. Kollman is not really into cake but loves cupcakes (which is easier anyway) so we had Cars cupcakes complete with Cars rings. The day before his party we were talking about who all would be there. Kollman made a seating chart.....and had all the girls sitting by him. He is quite the ladies man...as you can see in the one group picture. Look closely.....Kollman is in the middle and Mia has her arm around him and they are holding hands! Too cute! Kollman had a wonderful time with his new friends and we look forward to doing much more together! Overall, the party was a success! After all the guest left we took Kollman to Target and let him pick out a new Spider Man razor scooter he's been begging for. He's so easy to please....thank goodness!
