Weeks ago when asked what type of birthday party he wanted, Gus replied "a tv party!" which according Gus would mean his friends coming over to watch tv. We went with his second choice, an airplane party. We sent paper airplane invitations out to Chloe, Lara, Jake, Philip & Charlie, Evan & Samantha, and Zach & Ellie. I ordered a bunch of airplane kits and started my quest for party hats.
Grammy and Grandpa arrived the night before the party and helped pull everything together. Grandpa turned our leaky living room ceiling into the sky with flying paper airplanes and balloon clouds.

Samantha, Gus, Lara, Philip Charlie, and Theo playing with various flying things.
Theo was the only one to really embrace the propeller hat.

He blew all three candles out with one puff!

These are for us.

If I do say so myself, the party was a success. The kids all got along, except for one minor incident when Gus tried to hug Jake, and the adults enjoyed brunch. We played Pin the Tail on the Donkey again, and this year this kids understood the objective and the rules. Maybe next year we can play for a prize.
