Nathan's Birthday landed on Sunday and I thought it would be awesome to have the party that day since this year it so happened to be the day before school. (Prefect planning on my part, I know.) But, I was not expecting our bee situation to get out of hand...
I woke up early to finish up the decorations for the party...when I hear buzzing, of course I scream, woke up Nathan and while he is grabbing one of my saddles to kill the bee.
I say "Happy Birthday?"
Long story short we had to kill 7 bees that morning, I could not concentrate and wanted to just postpone the party. But, I reminded myself that it was not about me and I past out the invites 3 weeks in advance so we were going to have this party!
We had a Western theme birthday party and everyone came dressed in their best cowboy/girl outfits.
This is our front door
Living room
Dinning room. For dinner we had Pot Roast, Baked Potatoes, Baked Beans, Corn and Bryan's famous Salsa w/Chips.
Decorations on table, you might not be able to tell but the green and white things are dollar bill mints. We did not play any traditional card games but we did bring out Mexican Bingo and everyone did a great job calling out the cards.
The bar, and yes I cut, drew and wrote everything.
Of course you can not forget the outhouse.
I know that it is not the best, decorating wise, but this is Nathan's lemon birthday cake.
Nathan thinking of a good wish, and yes we did sing the "Moons" extended version of the birthday song.
Everyone brought gifts and Nathan was grateful for every one!
Bryan and Laurel got Nathan a gift card to Texas Roadhouse. Yum Yum Yum!
Clay and Kaimee bought a western book that he really enjoys and I got him a replica of the original Book of Mormon.
Though the day started out very stressful Nathan had a blast at the party!

Wow awesome party. Where did you get the idea? I feel so uncreative now that I've left the Y its like the creative bubble just stayed behind.
Thanks Jamie! I got the theme idea from Martha Stewart but all the decor, I thought of myself. I had to do stuff like that at the day care so that is why it was so elementary:)
