For Breanna's first 3 birthdays she was an only child. And baby we made a big deal out of those birthdays.
Her second birthday was a sock hop. She loved to dance, so I figured that was the built in entertainment. When she was little we were part of a huge playgroup. And we invited everyone. NOT to our tiny little 1000sq ft. house. Instead we had her parties at the church in the fellowship hall. It was perfect. One big room, a kitchen, kid sized and regular tables and chairs readily available. And best of all we only had to clean up when it was all over.
For birthday #3 the playgroup was anxious awaiting us to top the sock hop party. Breanna had been to Sea World many times that spring and was obsessed with the Sea Lion and Otter show which at that time was about Pirates. And being an only child, what she wanted, she got!
I warned you we host kick-ass kid's parties! Come back next week when I will continue with the birthday madness.

Holy Cow. You are the Birthday Kings. I thought Pin the Tail on the Pumpkin and egg toss were enough to make our parties awesome haha. Thank goodness my kids don't read blogs...

Your husband lets your daughter have a boyfriend? Never going to happen at my house!

You are just like me! I love to bring the themes to life! And, if you start a few months ahead it is really quite inexpensive!
Great Parties!

You guys seriously rock. I've had some great theme parties, but you take it to a whole new level. Our constant used to "Pin the ____" on whatever--hat on the firefighter, eyepatch on the pirate, etc.
