The Nelson's: Party Time!

We celebrated Collin's birthday with a Garbage Truck theme party on Sunday. Random, I know, but this boy is obsessed with all things garbage. He waits by the window every Friday morning for the garbage trucks to drive by and dump all the cans. He yells out "Thank you garbage man for dumping our trash!" every time they pass by. It is the highlight of his day. If you ask him when the garbage man comes he smiles and says "Friday!" so it was no surprise when he said he wanted a garbage truck party. I knew the weather was going to be a little questionable so we had the party indoors at Coney Island Me-N-Eds. I'm so glad we had it there so someone else could clean up the mess. Ha! Being this preggo, I didn't want to spend the following week playing molly maid.

My Mom and my cousin Maura (Mo) frosted 80 cupcakes for this party and I don't have a picture of their amazing work! It was seriously Cupcake Wars in my kitchen the day before. I'm hoping my cousin Amie has a picture and if she does, I will post it!

Here are a few pictures from the party. I was trying to enjoy the night also so I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked. Maybe next year!

Party time!

On Collin's actual birthday (the 24th) we went to John's Incredible Pizza just like last year. My cousin Lisa babysits a few little boys and Collin has so much fun with them. I'm so glad they were able to come celebrate with us!
