My little man is four....

Gabe had a fun filled day, on his actual birthday.
We started if off with mickey mouse pancakes and balloons waiting on him in the hall.
Then Nanna came in to play so mommy could get ready for the party.
The rest is documented in pics....enjoy!

Pancakes....
















balloons get anyones day started off right...























Uncle Josh and Aunt Taryn stopped by,
before the party, to give Gabe this
cool camo bag.
























On to the goods...
I found these cool paper straws online.
















The drinks.....
I tried to add twine in wherever I could to
get the woodsy camo feel flowin.




























































































I tried cake pops for the first time....
They were a hit.. and gone before the cupcakes.







































Yes, a dead animal was part of the party decor.
This was Andre's first mount...we are proud of him.























Gabe was pretty excited when we opened the mail and
these camo shirt-plates were inside.
















The food......
French bread sandwiches with a twist...
















































The whole sha-bang from afar...
































As for the smore cupcakes...
They were delicious, however very time consuming, so I will have
to say it will be a while before they are made again.
















Some Party goers...
The men talkin "huntin"!
















Some crazy family...
















Presents...
















Grandma Zetta gave Gabe money to buy a new toy!























Silly boys.... and I am sure of them
being huntin
buddies.























Gabe's First Gun....
Yep, I said it Gun....
There was no stoppin Nanno...
It was a camo party, what better present right?
It is safe, a bb gun. He cannot cock it himself and there
is a safety setting.
Needless to say.... Gabe was PUMPED!























More party goers.....























And the gun comes out....
















Little man and his daddy....























Nanna and Nanno
















Pappy and Gramma
















Nanno showin Ella the ropes...
I am not sure she has a chance...
A huntin Nanno and two brothers!























Pappy puttin the water/sand table together....
















After the party sillyness.......







































Happy Birthday little man....
We are so proud of the little guy you have become...
You are dearly loved!
Love...
Daddy, Mommy, Ella, and baby Liam

Looks like another great party!! :) Also looks like you and I had very similar ideas (paper straws & wrapped silverware). I loved seeing everyone in camo! So cool when things like that come together. PS we LOVE our sand and water table. However we mainly keep just sand in it so we don't have to drain the water all the time so its not icky. WM has colored sand and that's fun! Ours has blue sand right now.

LOVE the party! Might have to steal some ideas for Brycen's party in Dec.- he already decided he wants a camo/hunting party :)

I laughed about Gabe getting a (bb) gun! B got a (bb) gun the Christmas he turned 4 (12 days after his 4th bday). :) He still loves that thing, but is already talking about getting "a real gun" for CHristmas this year- momma is NOT ready for that!
