Birthday in the Park

We finally celebrated Dalton's 4th Birthday with all his friends this past weekend at Fireman's Park. Dalton actually turned 4 on January 26, but with a winter birthday, party ideas get more difficult year after year.

Last year he wanted a hayride and of course the morning of his party the wind was blowing 20 mph and the temperature hovering around 40 degrees, but we managed a hayride. This year between hosting a wedding shower at our house and Mallory's Baptism in January I convinced Dalton to delay his birthday party until this spring and he could have his party in the park like all his other friends.

Toward the beginning of the week I was unsure what I was going to do if the weather would not cooperate. I was going to have a devestated little boy, but "Thank You GOD" for listening to Dalton's prayers Friday night and holding off the rain for an absolutely gorgeous Saturday. Temps were cool, wind was low and the kids could enjoy playing. Not sure what I will do next year, but I'm thankful things worked out for his 4th Birthday.


Thanks to "Brenham Olde Towne Bakery" for an awesome birthday cake.

Blowing out the candles was a little work


My attempt at a group picture, but we had stragglers come and go the entire time so I didn't get everyone, but thanks for helping Dalton celebrate his 4th Birthday.


They enjoyed racing cars around the "icing" road and then licking it off.


Before cake everyone had to eat some pizza including the birthday boy.

Oh so lovely photos from this fabulous Birthday in the Park. I am really happy to have a look at these photos. All of the activities added to this party were awesome. Even I am going to throw a fun party for my son’s birthday and will book the rental event space Chicago for that.
