We were so blessed by our friends and church family up here and tons of helpers, tons of food and just over 40 people. Our plan was to have it outside in our garden and asked everyone to bring blankets and picnic chairs and to park off wherever they wanted to. The weather was awesome and having it in the late afternoon meant that the heat of the day had pretty much passed by the time everyone arrived.We setup toys, playpens, a gazebo, swimming pool, ball pool, a pinata and a mini-tent so there was plenty to keep the kids and parents occupied.
Friends of ours made the cake, several others brought plates of snacks and a few others brought some extra outside toys for the kids. Our garden looked awesome! It was like a kid's paradise, it really turned out better than we could have hoped for! Eli and Grace were the real stars that they always are and let everyone and anyone play with them, pick them up and guzzle all over them!El, once again, put in a ton of work and coordinated everything like a pro. I have suggested to her (as have several others) that she organise children's parties fulltime!
