Clint+Jandee: The Parties

Cannon sure does know how to get the best birthdays ever. This year, Cannon's birthday fell on a Thursday so we thought it would be best to do his party on the following Saturday. He wanted a parade themed birthday party this year. On the day of his birthday when his Aunt Colleen and Grandma "GG" called him to wish him a happy birthday, he mentioned to them that he wanted a surprise birthday party. So, as he suggested, his Aunt Colleen and Grandma planned him the best surprise birthday party ever! Out on the bed of Grandpa Sullivan's flatbed truck, Grandpa Bruce strung lights and hung balloons. We ate donuts and drank hot chocolate and Cannon opened some birthday presents. It was one awesome surprise birthday party!

(Not to mention, we already went to McDonald's earlier that day with his Mema for lunch.)

When Saturday rolled around, he had his parade party. I'm not going to lie, I was pretty much over his birthday by then because I knew he already had such a good time on his real birthday. So the parade party become more and more simple by the minute. The kids sure did have a blast though.

Cannon getting ready to blow out his birthday cake candle. (Notice the simplicity of the cake, a bunch of Hostess products stacked with a candle on the top. Clint says this is tradition in the Sullivan family so why not carry it on again right?)
