Sweet Pea’s 5th birthday was last week! I cannot believe he is 5! Time has gone by so quickly! I know, everyone says it would, but it’s hard to believe them when you are holding a tiny baby!
Over the weekend we had a family party for him. It was simple. Because he is simple. He likes simple play, simple learning. The theme: 5. Simple, right? But so much fun to hear all of his ideas for his special day.
Six year old Cutie Pie helped decorate with simple things like colorful magnetic letters spelling Sweet Pea’s name and 2+3=5 equations. We found some toys that Sweet Pea likes and set them out as a table centerpiece in groups of 5.
I printed out several different fonts of the number 5 as well as the word. My plan was to have these decorated, but leaving them white in the end seemed just right for this simple theme.
Oh, yeah, and we had five balloons in each room. A group of five hanging from the window frame in the rumpus room on which Cutie Pie wrote out math mountains with the equations equaling 5. (Love it!)
Sweet Pea wanted a cookie cake, so we had one decorated with balloons and 5s along with chocolate chip cookie ice cream after a simple pizza lunch.
Such a simple birthday theme, but so enchanting to my Sweet Pea. He said he loved it even before he opened the presents!
