Asher's 8th Birthday - Spyriffic!

I love the themes Lola comes up with for her birthday parties. My two personal favorites have been her Prom and her America's Got Talent. Both parties utilized stuff we already had at our house. They required very little prep and everyone had a BLAST! She came up with all her themes so she felt very proud when the results were AMAZING!

One of the best benefits of being friends with the Baca's is getting invited to their unique and fun parties. Not to mention, they are one of the craziest fun couples we know!

Insane Bacas.
 
They come up with some of the most creative themes for kids birthdays, usually thought up by the children and catapulted into awesomeness by 2 brilliant parents. Last year Eden had a "Christmas in July." It is incredible how much fun it is to have a Christmas party in July. Annnnnd, you have already have all the decorations stored up in the attic.

These parties are universally enjoyed by both parents and adults.

This year, true to their dedication to fun, Asher's birthday Party was a Spy party! The kids had so much fun! They were given clues at HQ. (A pop-up tent set up in the field across from their house) Then they were sent running all over the field, where they were met by members of the BIA (Baca Intelligence agency). Each member was from a different country and required the children to do some sort of physical silliness in order to receive their next clue. It was crazy involved and perfectly simple at the same time.

Wow, they REALLY enjoyed this.
Out the door for the adventure.
Instead of goodie bags, manila envelopes marked classified with their name on it.

Best Daddy Ever!
