A Celebration...Not a Birthday Party

We celebrated Josh's 5th Birthday with friends.

 Since it wasn't his actual birthday, he keeps referring to the party as his celebration, not his birthday party. 

Josh requested a beach birthday party, so we did our best!

It started to rain when the party started, but we still headed outside for water games. 

Then we headed back inside for a beach themed dinner.

Beach Ball Cake Pops

We carved the watermelon shark!

The kids LOVED the octopus hot dogs!

Josh has started noticing boarded up homes in a
section of Baltimore City called Sandtown. We drive
through this part of town fairly often. As we talked about,
he thought it would be a good idea to collect money to
help fix these houses since he has been given so much.
It was really an amazing gesture for an almost 5 year old.
We raised $165 for Sandtown Habitat for Humanity
 from our guests - thank you!

Shark fin cupcakes for our birthday boy!

Yes, Wonder Woman made an appearance!
