On Saturday, March 19th Owen had his birthday party with the Burns family and a few of our friends from church.
We had a beach/surfer theme. I used a lot of Owen decorations from his room, and some wonderful friends made a really cute surfer cake and yummy cupcakes!
Eric and I gave him a wading pool for his birthday. Thanks to the warm Texas weather, we were able to pull it out for the big day. Owen wasn't a fan of sitting down in the water, but he sure loved to splash!
Owens friend Linclon was also able to join us for the party - we were so glad he was there! He was a good sport to put up with Owen's splashing. :-)
Next on the agenda was bubbles! This is now Owen's favorite past time - he asks for "Bubulls" many times a day. It was love at first sight! :-)
After a delicious dinner (Eric grilled chicken stuffed with jalapenos and cheese) it was time for the pinata. This was mainly entertainment for the adults, but the birthday boy had to get in a few good whacks first. The pinata stick is actually a piece of pvc pipe, expertly decorated with duct tape and streamers by aunt Kat ... and Owen's favorite toy of the night! :-)
After the pinata was demolished by uncle Scott and Eric it was time for cake. Owen wasn't that excited about it. I think he may have remembered his run-in with the cake at his California birthday party. That cake ended in tears, this one just ended quickly. Owen didn't know what he was missing, it was delicious!

The other highlight of the party for the birthday boy were the balloons. What more can a boy ask for?
