I rarely throw friend parties for my kids, but I gave them the option this year and Derek jumped on it. We decided on a movie-themed party. I gathered supplies from party stores and made an at-home movie theater.

| Wendy's was kind enough to donate the cups. I went through the drive thru and asked for 12 empty cups. I'm sure it gave them a laugh, but hey, I wanted the cups! My sister added the cute labels. |
It looks ghetto, but it worked great. I borrowed a projector and used a blank wall in our dark, non-window room. It made a great theater for Megamind. And I'm telling you it was wonderful! The kids were contained, quiet, and happy and my sister and I sat upstairs chatting. Now that is my kind of party. :)
After the movie Derek opened presents and the kids ate cake in the backyard.

Derek's aunt, Lindsay, and her fiance, Bracken, showed up with presents! He was a spoiled boy.
Later in the evening Derek opened more presents from family. It was a fun day! I can't believe how fast they grow. I love you, Derek!

Cute party Natalie- what a good idea!
It looks like Derek had a really fun birthday.
We love you guys! Love Allie
That WAS a good party. I've shared the idea with a few people, telling them all the fun things you did. We've also discovered that we actually like those corn pops as a snack. Hmm.

Once again a fabulous cake by Natalie. I love the lights leading down the stairs...wish we could have been on the local guest list...:)
Derek is so pretty and so beautiful in this picture he sends shivers up and down my spine whenever I look at him. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g-BwH_eb1oI/T01GJ0UrPII/AAAAAAAAEGU/o8bysYTjytk/s0/069.JPG I have this picture on display life size in one of my large format digital picture displays in the main living area of my home and my bedroom. I just love being able to walk up to him and spend a few minutes kissing that beautiful face, and his mouth and lips, whenever I want. When I walk into the room and see him life size he looks just stunning!
