It was just this last May when I stated how much I enjoyed to not have a themed birthday party, however, for Drew's 5th birthday I went all out with WWE/Drewmania...sooo...it was only fair I themed it up one last time for Dylan's 5th birthday.
I was not surprised when he said he wanted another fishing party. He wanted it to be just like last year at Grandpa Bruce's with all his friends there to fish with him and a "catfish" coming out of his birthday cake. (There was some cake drama & that didn't happen. I may or may not had them totally re-do the cake when I picked it up.)
So I went to Etsy to search for a Fishing Invitation when I came across this printable package.
I originally was just looking for an invite, but once I came across this package I knew I HAD to have it. It was beyond adorbs and totally made the party decor turn out amazing.
Last year, we had a fish fry, but since my Dad could not be there this year to fry the fish, we ordered some Subway trays and just had some sandwiches and chips.
And LOTS of deserts.
Cake, cupcakes, cookies, and S'mores.
He enjoyed his party so much. We had gotten there earlier in the day and this boy seriously fished the whole time we were there. He really enjoyed all his family and friends coming to share with him on his birthday his most favorite thing to do.
He appreciated each of you driving over to celebrate. (And so did Mommy & Daddy.)
After his party, he said "Mommy, you know the one thing that I hated about the party?"
As I brace myself for the answer, I ask "What?"
He says "That everyone didn't get to catch a fish."
I melted. Right there. How sweet is that??
Ohhh!! & PS: he also called me out to be the Fisherman of the Day since I hooked my very first worm!!
First worm people. This child has been fishing for years and I just now got enough guts (no pun intended) to actually hook one. It was the most disgusting thing I have ever done.
I literally wanted to puke.
But I did it and he thought it was quite funny.
I guess my next step is to learn how to take the fish off the hook...Eeeeekkk!!
And now herre ya go with the loads of pictures from the party....:)
Thanks Brandy & Mandy for snapping pictures throughout the party!
