Owen was so excited about his birthday party. When I asked him what he wanted to do for his party, he initially wanted to do the same thing as last year and invited all his friends to Glow-Putt. I didn't think I could handle another party with a bunch of 4 year olds, in the dark with neon shining everywhere for 2 hours, so I steered him to an at home birthday party. Once he was on board with that, he decided it would be very cool to have a penguin theme birthday party. We had a penguin scarf that all the kids got to make and penguin mobiles they got to color and put together. Then all the kids got to play the penguin bean bag toss game. 
Following the crafts and games, we had cake (gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free cake mind you, try finding a recipe for that one) and ice cream. Owen seemed to have a great time and all the kids that were there had a nice time too. The best part of the kids birthdays for me are after the parties, on the day they were actually born when I get to snuggle with them and let them know how special they are and how glad we are to have them in our family. We are so blessed to have such an exuberant and full of life boy like Owen in our family. We love you and are glad that you are growing up to be such a wonderful, smart, handsome boy! Happy Birthday Owen!!!
