A Handy Party

When we were picking up party supplies for Keira this summer, Ari spotted the “Handy Manny” (or Handy Mandy and he likes to call him) supplies nearby and soon became set on that theme for his party.  After some brainstorming, Keenan and I came up with a plan to have his friends meet us at the monthly Home Depot Kids Workshop then we’d all go to a park to play and have cake.  It was probably the most laid-back party we’ve hosted so far and I think everyone had a great time.  As a bonus, Yia Yia and Papa were in town for the festivities :)

Ari was ready to work, but Keira was a little sleepy.

They moved the workshop outside this time so we had to wait for them to set up.  Luckily there were some lawn tractors nearby to keep the kids occupied.

Then it was time to get to work.

A few more friends were able to meet us at the park.  The weather was great!

It was a laid back, yet very fun party. What a great idea to let Home Depot provide an activity and craft for free! I'm so glad we got to be there to celebrate with our #1grandson.

Can you spot Keenan behind the rock?

Looks like fun - and like the birthday boy had a great time!!

Beautiful weather! (Looks like summer to me! Here the leaves are changing and it definitely feels like fall!) =)
