April is a busy month. Both our grandson Leonidas and his mom Haewon have birthdays and we prepped for an early 5th birthday party for Clementine and our 50th anniversary cruise to Alaska. Plus there were a couple of new projects on the RV and at home.
We were excited to see our grandson, Wolfgang, perform in a first grade musical. He was the boy who called Wolf in a series of three fables with acting and songs at the first grade program at Westwoods Elementary.
Then we had the April birthdays. Leo wanted Monster Trucks for his third birthday party.
Dave and I prepped for his party. Dave made cardboard racing ramps and each child got a Monster Jam monster truck. I labeled paper party favor sacks with monster trucks and his birthday banner. Dave made trophies for the race winners. Eventually everyone won!
We hung monster truck wall stickers in the basement staircase. As an activity the kids ran through an obstacle course. They were supposed to be pretending they were monster trucks.
The next April birthday was for his mom. We had a nice sushi dinner and cake afterwards.
Although Clementine’s birthday is in June she has a party a month early for her friends since she and her mom and siblings spend the summer in Korea.
Clementine’s theme was Frozen as she wanted to be Elsa. So her mom bought her the formal Elsa costume and her great aunt Jean bought her a school and playtime Elsa costume and she loved both!
Plates and napkins, banners and balloons, and hallway stickers were Frozen themed. I also used the cricut to make my first layered vinyl design.
Her parents were also Frozen! And the partygoers seemed to be happy even though Grandma and Grandpa (both sets!) we’re away on an Alaskan cruise.
Preparation for the cruise just included laundry and packing and making our matching shirts for the big day.
