It's been Pokémon Central here at the Balyon house. Rowan is nuts over the show, (and now, the game too, but I'll post more on that another time). Anyway, it's no wonder that his theme of choice for the big 5 years birthday party was Pokémon.
But, we are really lucky to have a super awesome handful of friends with littles here, and Rowan was excited to invite his friends from school which, as it turns out, are pretty great too.
The Birthday Boy! (5 yrs)
Never mind my paint swatch in the background.
We made our own pinata....which was it's own adventure.
The weather totally gave us a break.
And despite a lot of anxiety over fitting everyone in our house/porch, It seemed to work out really well :)
Rowan "Catching Carizard"
Earned his Pokémon Trainer Hat!
Cid's turn
Bros
Liam is a trainer too!
Rowan takes the first swing!
And Cid
Our homemade pinata lasted long just long enough for each kiddo to get a swing!
Making his wish
He started opening his presents and then...
there was a purple tinsel explosion!!
Purple tinsel everywhere!
Raphael does purple tinsel.
Even Baby Theodore wanted in on the purple tinsel.
Rowan had such a blast. We couldn't be more thankful for all the kids (and their parents) who have welcomed Rowan and made him feel so special on this day.
