Life does not always give you what you expect, but we have come to trust that we are always where we are meant to be and with faith, hope, and love we can conquer anything. Most importantly, it really is all about the journey...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Birthday Party

It seems like as soon as the holidays are over, I have to start planning for our next celebration - Charlie's birthday party. But I love it and I love how excited he gets. He has gotten increasingly particular and adamant in his requests, but we find a way to make it work for everyone involved. We went with the TMNT theme this year and I have to say I am pretty proud of how it came together. 

 The Raphael cake was definitely a last minute Pinterest inspired 
addition because I was struggling to come up with something 
creative and easy to do with the cupcakes.

 I was (somewhat) harshly corrected that his arm and leg bands 
were supposed to be brown not red, but he was pleased overall.

 One random Charlie request: a pizza cookie making station


 fun!


 He wanted a pinata, I didn't want to spend $20+ on 
something that would be destroyed in 5 minutes so we 
turned to Pinterest again and came up with these 
punching boxes. They were a HUGE hit!
