The Big Event

Or in other words, We Are Really Into Themes.

Olivia's 7th birthday party is based on one particular book, Nate the Great Talks Turkey with Help from Olivia Sharp. Nate is an 10-year-old detective. But today he was an 34-year-old software engineer trying to solve the case of how to entertain 26 kids on 1/7th of an acre with less than 1000sq ft to work with.

Nate the Great somtimes needs help on his cases from his "cousin" Olivia Sharp, the very posh San Fransician detective with a personal chauffeur. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, don't worry, neither did half of our party guests.)

Here is your first clue.



I think my guys really pulled it off rather well.





The first thing you must know about being a good detective is that eating pancakes is essential to solving the case.



The next best thing to talking turkey is eating one. That is why the cupcakes are attempting to replicate them with candy corn and Hersey kisses.



Well, everything can't go exactly according to theme. Sometimes you just need a bouncy house.



We all had a blast and a great day, there were tears and spills and falls, but it's all part of pulling off a killer birthday party in the land of 1st grade.
