"I think because I'm an Oregon Girl, the sun chose to come out for my birthday."
Morning birthday date to Driftwood Coffee with Mama.
Good morning to our birthday girl - as requested, she woke up to a house decorated for her party, and a giant 40" "5" balloon! (That was promptly popped at her party)
Kitchen table turned cape-making station. Yes, I did in fact cut out of felt a cape for each kiddo, their first initial, and some superhero shapes to make their own superhero cape!
Birthday cakes, thanks to Mimi! M&M "5" cake and a Wonder Woman cupcake cake
Snack table, with "Superhero Training Checklists," and photos of Francie's birthdays through the years hanging across the mirror.
"POW!" punching balloons form Amazon.
Hand-cut felt capes.

The sun allowed for our 40ish guests to expand onto the deck and backyard for BBQ lunch.

Time for singing HB - and cake!
