We decided to plan Wesley's party for the Saturday before Wesley's birthday after Jud's cousin, Kathy, planned her wedding for Wesley's birthday! It really turned out great! Due to Wesley's love of Gator Country and Gator 911, we chose to go with a gator theme. I made the invitations using a scrapbook kit that I ordered. The two pictures were some that were taken at Gator Country.
We chose to keep this party small, with Wesley's grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and great-grandmother. We had hot dogs and hamburgers with chips. My sister-in-law, Jennifer, worked her magic on Wesley's cake! Notice the alligator on the top of the cake and one on the by the bottom layer!
After eating, I helped Wesley open his presents! He got a Dinoco Lightening McQueen from my second Mom in Virginia. He also got A LOT of other goodies, including a big aircraft carrier (my parents), an army tank (Jud and I), a writing tablet with chips and other goodies (Jamye), some cute clothes with boots and a Tag Jr. book (Jennifer), a Buzz Lightyear ride-on toy with toy phone (my Grandma), Tag Jr. and book (Jud and I), a Mack Truck (from my parents), and money (Jud's Dad)! This is just SOME of the stuff that he received for his birthday!
After he opened his presents, Jud and Ashley (my little sister) took the kids swimming! Gracie didn't want to swim. The three pictures across the bottom are of Jud sneaking up on Ella and after he got her, she's laughing and saying, "He got me! He got me!"
These pictures are after everyone left except for Ella. Jennifer and JimEd had to go clean their church, so Ella stayed to play with Wes. They had a great time together! Jud decided to play with Wesley's aircraft carrier while Ella and Wesley played together with some of Wesley's other birthday presents!
His birthday party turned out really great. The kids seemed to enjoy themselves and, I believe, us adults had a good time too!
