Paw Patrol is big in our house with a certain little guy. He looooves him some pups!
When it came time to decide what kind of party to have, we finally decided on Paw Patrol. We debated many, MANY other themes, but Paw Patrol won out.
Usually I turn into a pinterest pinning super freak come birthday party time, but I didn't this time. I let Party City do most of the work...and of course Pump it Up did the work too. (I JUST realized I never got a good picture of the cake!!!! Whoops! Target made an adorable paw patrol cake....!)
Nug took a GREAT nap Saturday afternoon and woke up ready to party!!! He was SO excited for this party. He happen to pick a shirt that matched Poppy...
We had Cal's 5th birthday party at Pump it Up (looking back at this post makes me want to cry! They have changed SO much!), so we knew how great parties there are. Andy was adamant about wanting his there too.
We arrived in the parking lot and he posed for a picture...in the bright sun...
They post all the birthday parties they have going on on a big chalk board. Andy found his name immediately.
I didn't take many pictures during the party. It was chaos, but everyone was having fun so that's all that matters! Cal was happy to have sweet Chloe there. Love his little headlock/hug he's got going on here.
Almost all of the group! Those are some cute kiddos! Andy insisted on inviting his entire class and then we added in a few more friends. It was a cute group of kids!
Once we got moved to the party room, Andy was quick to hop up in the birthday chair-- I am telling you, this kid was HAPPY the whole time he was there!
He had some friends get in the chair too...
So, we don't know why, but Andy doesn't like the birthday song. Like, at all. Every birthday party we go to, we have to leave the room when they start singing it because he freaks the freak out. We don't know why. We seriously have no clue what causes this strong dislike...but there's no reasoning with him. He has to walk out of the classroom each time one of his classmates has a birthday. They didn't one time and he laid on the floor covering his ears and shaking profusely. Real nice way to wish your friend a happy day!
Again, we don't get it. But that's just Andy!
His teacher, whom he adores!, had a birthday and the kids all sang to her in class and Andy decided to stay put (he seriously loves this teacher).
So he came home that day and told us that instead of the birthday song, he wanted everyone to sing Jingle Bells to him at his party. Sure, kid. Whatever floats your boat. #longlivesanta
But then one day, we were driving down the road and as random as could be, he said, "fine, mommy. I will let everyone sing happy birthday to me at my party. That's okay with me now..."
So, we weren't sure what to expect at the party. Would he freak out? Would he run out of the room crying? Nooooo telling with that kid! But, he did GREAT! He sat in the chair smiling the whole time and loved every minute of it. GO FIGURE!
After everyone ate cake, the family loaded up the chair and took a few family pics-- just to show we survived another party!
We had a blast celebrating sweet Nug this weekend and we are excited to continue the party the next week!

Happy Birthday Andy! Nash had an awesome time, contrary to the group picture, typical.
