Aaron's Birthday falls close enough to Thanksgiving and soon enough after Greg's birthday (and our life is just busy enough) that I got worried we wouldn't "fully celebrate" him like I wanted to. We briefly considered going out to do some activity the night before. But, when it comes right down to it, doing the party preparations at home (even for just a party with our own little family) is what makes us all feel the "birthday spirit" more than anything else!
So, we had a Cars-themed party for the six of us. Aaron and Elizabeth helped make the invitations that were taped to each person's door. Nathan made a game of "Pin the Tire on the Truck". Joshua created a board game with spaces on it like, "Tire Pop, Lose a Turn", "What Did You Eat Today?! Move Ahead Six", and "Uh, Oh! Out of Gas, Move Back Three".
We put up a banner and got the house all ready for the party the next evening.
