This year, we did a joint party with sweet friend, Katelynn, whose birthday is just a couple of weeks before Korben's (Feb 7). Katelynn's mom, Kara, is a crafty one and she made matching camo bear shirts with the number 3 for Korben and Katelynn and she even made clothes for all the kids new stuffed animals as part of their party favors....super cute!
We had a morning party at 10:00am at the Build-a-Bear workshop at Northpark Mall and after everyone made their stuffed animals, we all headed to the food court to eat lunch and have cupcakes. The original plan was to also open presents at the food court but nap time came for many of the guests (and our birthday boy) so we decided it would be better to just take the presents home. It worked out great because we were able to get home and take a nap, and then when Korben woke up, he got to continue to celebrate by opening his presents... which I of course got zero pictures of!
While the day was really chaotic, it really was a lot of fun and I think the kids all had a pretty good time so we'll call it a success! :)

Some of the party guests. I think they were holding hands here because they had all just put their hearts in their stuffed animals and made a wish... but I honestly can't remember for sure!

Showing off his new friend :) He chose to make this dog and name him "Spot." Although, he was only called Spot for that day... ever since, Korben has just called him Doggie. :)
He loves his new friend! To this day, Korben often likes to sleep with his new dog. :)

And one last shot of the birthday kids! Chocolate and all!

I think you got better shots of Katelynn than I did that day. Based on this experience, I'm going to have small parties for Kateynn in the future. The poor little girl was so overwhelmed! We didn't get a smile until everyone left.
