My sister knows how to throw a themed birthday party. Whether it be dinosaurs, unicorns, horses, or rainbows, Miranda can get pretty creative. Today my nephew turned 6 years old (exactly four months after Sloan turned the same age) but his birthday bash was yesterday. As you can imagine, it was themed…
Johnny’s birthday was based on camping! Just like Sloan’s Catholic Summer Camp last month, the party was all about embracing the wilderness.
For snacks, you could make a plate with classics such as firewood (pretzels), rainbow trout (Goldfish crackers), flames (cheese puffs), and bait (gummy worms)…
You could then play a rousing game of “Stick the marshmallow in the fire.” Don’t worry, no children were burnt by the flames—the beating sun did it instead…
My favorite part of the theme was the campground cake. Although from the exterior it looked like some pretty hardcore camping was taking place, when you cut in the vibe was more like glamping—a confetti cake layer and a red velvet layer…
Everyone then “sat around the campfire” for the opening of presents…
And of course the party attendees didn’t leave empty-handed…
Happy 6th birthday, Johnny! Thanks for inviting us to your party and we hope you have many more real camping trips this summer. Don’t Blink.
