The night before Sully's birthday party we sent him off to spend the night at my mom's house and to hang out with his Yaya and Uncle B. Shaun and I had a nice date night, I got a little tipsy on something called a smores martini and then we ran home to decorate. Sully really wanted a Chuck and Friends/Construction birthday party, but when I popped into PartyCity to pick up the decorations, they told me they no longer carry "that line" in their stores. And of course it was too late to order online to have it there by Saturday.
Mommy Fail.
So Sully opted for a hockey birthday the last minute. Thanks goodness PartyCity just introduced a NHL line in their stores, and because the Kings made it to the playoffs and are doing rather well (Go Kings Go!) there was a good amount of stuff to choose from. Thankfully it was a small gathering of close friends and family, so it was pretty low key.
I don't have pictures from the birthday party itself - I left that up to my husband and mother in law. I'm sure those will get posted soon. These are a few quick pics I snapped the night before.
I love our chalkboard wall. It goes from ceiling to floor.
The living room. You can't see the fireplace or the stairs but they were decorated too.

Don't look at my ugly cabinets!
Sully's "Jersey" cake that daddy baked. I frosted it. Yeh, don't think I'll be winning Cupcake Wars anytime soon.
My sister, bro-in-law and best friend joined us for his skating lessons in the morning before his party. He got scared again in the beginning and there were some tears (he's scared to fall), but once he got out there he did really, really great.

Saying goodbye to Aunt Sam (my best friend) who had to go back home that night. She drove all the way out just to spend the day with the birthday boy - and run him around Target that night playing the loudest game of Marco/Polo chase I've ever heard. That's what Aunts are for though right?
It was a fun day. Thank you to everyone for coming and spending the day with our little man!
