As always, I have so much fun planning the children's birthdays! I try to make every detail tie back to whatever theme I have agonized over and finally chosen. This year, we went with the sports theme since Rhett has REALLY gotten into them. He started with tennis lessons, then basketball and just finished up his baseball season. To start the theme, I created the invitations...
While I had a lot of fun making them, it seems more people respond to Evites (sadly) so the days of invitation making for me may be dwindling...hence the plethora of pictures (sorry!)

We invited quite a few people this year, mostly neighbors and a few friends. I am pleased to say we had a pretty good turn out with about 30 kids and 40 adults!

| I am FIVE! |
We started out the birthday morning by opening a few presents from us and Bubby, GG, and Moe Moe who came over early. It was then off to Rhett's last baseball game, followed by an end of the year pizza party at their sponsor, Pizanno's Pizza.

The party got "kicked-off" about 5pm and when most guests arrived, we started an official soccer game, complete with a marked field and jerseys for teams (Thanks T.J and Christi!)

| Kickin' it! |
Next up, was some dunk booth action. It was originally rented to put some neighborhood dad's in (as I was worried about safety) - but surprisingly, the kids were the ones that ended up playing the most in it!

Aim, Fire, DUNK!

| Dunked! |
We also had a surprise visitor planned for Rhett, non other than our Motor Cross neighbor, Ryan Reeves. Ever since Rhett got his own dirt bike this past Christmas, he has really looked up to him and was thrilled to watch him do tricks around the field!
