Birthday Bash!

With Leah's birthday being on the 13th of September and Chase's birthday being the 26th of September we decided to throw one big birthday bash for the kids.  Not sure how long we will be able to get away with the combo party but it was fun this year.  Chase is in love with Curious George, so we decided to have a George party.  The night before the party George hung out on the couch with Kevin. Everyone needed a little R&R before the craziness that was to come...
 All the kid activities were themed around a Curious George story.  Curious George and the birthday surprise took care of the cake, decorations, and party favors.
We also had Curious George and the fire fighters where the kids got a fire helmet and some firetrucks to play with...

We had some sand to represent Curious George goes to the beach...
 We had a pile of costumes for the kids to dress up to go along with the book, Curious George and the costume party...
Ummm, OK so this was baby torture

Looks better on Kevin anyway :)
 Curious George Goes to the hospital provided band aids, gauze rolls, and medical equipment for the kids to doctor each other or the provided stuffed animals.
 Curious George goes Camping had a tent for playing and marshmallows for eating.
We had some miscellaneous toys for the kids to play with to represent Curious George and the toy store...
 And then we got really crazy and took a scene from the Curious George movie and from the Original Curious George book and allowed the kids to finger paint on the "walls" like George did....

 And of course you cannot forget the pinata...
 Before all the craziness started, I attempted to get a picture of the uncooperative birthday kids...
Once all the excitement started the only activity that got all the kids attention was CAKE...

The 1st birthday girl had a chance to dig into her very own personal cake...
Needless to say, she liked it :).  Both the kids had so much fun at their birthday party, thank you everyone for making it so special!

Looks like a wonderful time was had by all! Love the theme and all the "stations" based on the books. Great idea!

You guys put a lot of thought and work into putting that party together, congrats! The kids definitely appeared to love it... probably some of the "grown-ups" too. :)
