Happy Happy Birthday!

    In my family birthdays are really special. When I turned sixteen I woke up to find my room filled with balloons, confetti everywhere including my bed, and a present on my dresser. That's the best way to wake up on your birthday. (And if you're wondering yes I am such a heavy sleeper that I didn't wake up while she was setting up.) Even when I was away at college my mom always made me feel loved and thought of even though we were far apart.

   Last year I wanted to make my stepdad's birthday really special and I planned to throw confetti on him when his alarm went off at 5am for work. It was a bold choice and I spent an extreme amount of time making homemade confetti. Well 5am came and I showered him in confetti or as he says it threw confetti in his face. He was not too pleased but so he decided to get me back on my birthday by decorating my room with a ton of balloons, posters, and of course, under my comforter on my bed was a butt load of confetti. He did that in May and I'm still finding confetti in my room even though I have vacuumed a bunch since.

    Also starting last year with my stepdad's birthday we have been having themed birthday decorations for the birthday person. The theme is picked out by the buyer and is of course relating to the birthday person. Last year my stepdad's birthday theme was Angry Birds, my mom's was princess, and mine was Frozen themed. This year I picked minion themed for my stepdad. I haven't figured out a theme for my mom but I need to figure it out because hers is just a couple of weeks away.

 

This was the party hat for my stepdad's party last year. A good party has a party hat.

 

This was my birthday set up. My parents did a great job! I was so surprised when I got home.

 

Since we are putting our house on the market I couldn't go as big as usual so it all was in one small area in the dinning room.

 

Confetti everywhere!

 

I found a mini piñata at Target that I had to get. My stepdad didn't want to break him open because he was so cool. His name is Hector and he sits on my stepdad's night stand.

 

Minions wearing party hats on a party hat... WHAT!!

 

I had to super size this picture so you could see the confetti. I found John confetti for my stepdad for his birthday last year. Not sure why I can't find any pictures of my mom's birthday, I know I took a bunch...

 

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN! HOPE YOU HAVE AN AWESOME DAY!

LOVE YOU :)
