Braylen's 4th Birthday Party

Hi!

I've been slacking, I really wanted to try and finish my Disney recaps before Braylen's birthday party, but that just didn't happen. I'm going to try my very hardest to get the rest of Disney blogged this week.

With Braylen's birthday being at the end of February, I always look for indoor venues. I really really hate places like Chuck E. Cheese & Putt-Putt where you have to share the facility with a million other kids. (No offense to people who have birthdays there) I found Paradise Pond through Mamapedia when I was trying to plan Braylen's 3rd birthday, but they were booked when I asked in December. For his 4th birthday, I wasted NO time, I booked in August.

Here is his invite, isn't it precious? Braylen is all about the Avenger's, but he hasn't watched the adult films just yet. He sticks to the cartoons, so I wanted to make sure I used the character's he would recognize. I actually found this invite using Google, and followed the watermark to: sugartotdesigns.blogspot.com.

Of course, I turned to Pinterest for help with ideas. I woke up at 7:00 on the day of  the party to make the fruit tray, and I thought it turned out so cute. I used fresh strawberries, American cheese, blue berries and raspberries. I also made the city backdrop, using a poster board and construction paper.

My Meme has the cutest punch jar, and she lets me use it a lot. Thanks Meme! This year, we had "Hulk Punch".

We had two party hosts that were great. Right when I walked in, they took everything from my hands and basically told me to go enjoy the party. It was awesome!

We used Lisa's Creative Cakes to make Braylen's birthday cake. Lisa also made our wedding cakes, she is SO affordable and does outstanding work, you can email her at azlecakelady@hotmail.com. Here are some pictures of the cake, which turned out totally adorable.

Here is a group shot of all of the kiddos that came.

For party favors, I bought Avenger masks from Wal-Mart, and gave out Avenger cups stuffed with candy. 

Here is Mr. Birthday Boy himself!

Here are some pictures from the rest of the party.

It was a great birthday party, and I can't believe I am a mommy to a FOUR year old! Thanks for reading. :)
