Play Ball! Party

On Saturday morning, Will celebrated his birthday with a few of his friends by playing ball. Will's favorite thing is to play sports outside, so that's what he wanted to do for his party. The little guys had fun playing baseball, football, soccer, tennis, and golf.

Will had an awesome birthday cake. My really great friend (who doesn't want credit for the cake) made a baseball field with the players. This picture doesn't do a very good job of showing the whole cake, but it looked amazing, tasted great, and was enough cake to feed 2 birthday parties!

Little guys taking turns at bat. This "organization" lasted for about the first 5 mins of the party, and then everyone just played whatever they wanted.

Instead of people bringing Will presents, each guest brought a ball to be donated to the Miracle Hill boys' home. Jay and Will took the balls by later that afternoon. Will was really excited about other boys having new balls to play with.
For dinner on Saturday night, we told Will he could pick any restaurant he wanted to go to. He thought about it for a couple of minutes and then said "How 'bout that one with the fire stuff?" So we headed to Firehouse Subs, with Will in his fireman costume, where he pretty much ate Cheetos for his birthday dinner.
We had a great weekend celebrating Will's birthday (and Catherine is now on the count-down to her's.)
