Our original plans for Gentry's birthday party got cancelled due to thunderstorms
in our area over the weekend, but we ended up having more fun than
we thought just by staying home.
Gentry has made plans since his birthday party last year
to have his party at Palm Beach Island again this year.
He loves the water and especially the high dive board.
He has practiced for awhile turning back flips just so he could show
the big boys how it was done.
.Once we knew it was going to be bad weather,
we had to change his plans at the last minute.
I asked him if he thought he might like a sleepover party at home
since we have never done anything like that.
He thought that might be fun and asked for me to decorate
the house for a party, and to have party hats
and balloons so it would be "cool".
And so we did.
He wanted a Fortnite cake, which is the most popular game
right now on the gaming systems.
I let him pick out the edible design and once again
my cousin, Lynne, made his delicious cake for him
I didn't end up getting very many pictures,
but they all had a great time and Gentry even said
this was the best party ever so far.
We had pizza and cake, with popcorn along with other snacks
and sugary sodas, and they got to watch movies until they fell asleep.
They were supposed to make a pallet fort in the living room floor,
but they ended up all piled up on our reclining sofa.
I had five sweet babes sleeping under my roof.
Be still my heart.
L-R: Gentry, Gabriel, Jubal, Hadley, and Zakari
I'm hoping Gentry always loves his birthday parties.
I want him to have good memories of "his" day.
No matter what, no matter how many birthdays come & go,
he will always be my baby, though.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GENTRY SLADE!!!
