There once was a little boy that LOVED going to the zoo.
He loved going to see all of his favourite animals. Seeing what was new. Seeing what adventure he could find.
It was coming up to this little boys birthday!
So I wonder what this little boy would like to do for his party?
His Mummy sat him down to talk about what sort of birthday party he would like... and there in a split second it was decided.
"A ZOO PARTY MUMMY!!!!!"
And there it was. The party theme was born.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
We decided the colours, the decorations, the invitations, the animals....
The animals. This is were we had very different ideas.
I thought I was being a bit clever arranging for a "animal man" to come and give us a display of all different animals.. But unfortunately, this translated into a soon to be four year old thinking that lions, tigers and bears were coming. Oh my.
With a bit of tweaking to the theme, we ventured into the realms of a "safari party" and that the animals were more likely to be from the Australian Desert. Yes? Phew. He followed. No more lions, tigers OR bears expected.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
And so on Saturday, the 4th of July. Ace's Safari Party went off without a hitch.
The little boy who loved the Zoo was amazed with every bit of magic that his Mummy and Daddy created for him.
The End.
Time to get on with the pictures! Apologies in advance for the poor quality photos, our garage didn't lend the best lighting. But crappy photos were a small price to pay for a little boy having his own little safari land.

The princess and knight birthday party
Boo had a birthday. She turned 5!
She wanted a Princess birthday party. As you do when your a little girl.
I am a little partial to a good kids birthday party, not to mention a good theme. Who was I to argue with her?
We did struggle with the theme once the guest list was finalised. We had quite a few boys coming, so we decided to turn it into a "Princess and Knight" party. Settled. Easy done.
With our moving and renting in a non-friendly party home.... This was our first year that we have been settled and able to go all out. I felt like I had a few years of pent up party planning to get out of my system, so party planning is what I did.
We built castles. We made bubble princess wands and swords. We made princess hats. The list goes on. We basically lived in Princess and Knight land for the lead up to the party. Completely normal. No?
I know it's OTT. I can be over the top with a lot of things. No judging okay ;)
So here is a few snaps of our wonderful day.
