Grant had his conifer themed birthday party on Saturday. It was so sweet - as we were decorating on Friday, Grant was getting more and more excited and kept saying, "This is looking really great, Mom!" I finished decorating after he went to bed, and when he woke in the morning he told me how much he loved it :) For those of you who don't know, Grant has been requesting a conifer themed party for about 3 months. It all started about a year ago - I bought "They Might Be Giants - Here Come the ABCs" CD. There is a song on there called "C is For Conifer". So of course I start telling Grant about the conifers in his life - the neighbor's trees where he loves to collect pine cones, the poodle tree in our landscaping that he and Blake bought. Boom - the obsession began. Most of the decorations are from my Christmas collection. I am NOT a creative person - but Grant
really wanted this. It was all worth it to see how happy he was!
The kids coated pinecones with peanut butter, then rolled in birdseed. Gotta keep with the theme.
One of Grant's gifts was a train conductor outfit. He quickly took to the role!
I had one of these on either end of the counter. In case you can't tell (ha ha) they have Santa boots for a base.

OMGoodnes, I love the party theme!!! Definitely unique! :) And I loved reading the story about the doctors appt and the shots! Grant is a funny boy. :)
Pinecones!!! That is awesome.
Glad you posted these! I love that party. I also love the XX bottle in the picture. Was that part of the theme too? I bet Grant liked that most of all.
Grant looks like a big 4 year old!
