Evan's 10th Birthday Party

Ever since Evan's Nintendo DS has come into his life, he's been slightly obsessed with Mario Brothers. So, I thought it fitting to have a Mario Brothers themed birthday party. There were a TON of wonderful ideas out there to get inspired by, so I went with it. Unfortunately, we all became ill the week the party was supposed to go down and I was out of it for a week or more. I had to postpone the party until the following weekend. I ended up putting this entire party together in 5 days! Not easy and I lost a ton of sleep in those 5 days. Thank the Lord for my husband, he helped out so much since we were in a bit of a time crunch. It turned out pretty good and the kids had fun. That's all that matters:)

• What People Ate

  We had a nacho bar, dark chocolate mustache pops, cupcakes and pinata candy:)

• What People Drank

  Fruit punch, soda or water.

• Best Moment

  Evan having a good time with his friend/cousins.

• Funniest Moment

  When everyone put on there mustache favors and started taking pictures:)

• Most Touching Moment

  Taking a break and getting a picture with my son, the birthday boy. I always feel like I'm just so busy that I never slow down to enjoy what's going on, so it was nice to capture that memory.
