Tinsley's 4th Birthday Party

 

Tinsley had her 4th birthday party and, as always, Alicia threw a pretty fantastic party. I don't usually write about birthday parties but since the kids had some pretty amazing face paint I wanted to show some pictures. The theme of the party was "Breakfast at Tinsley's" and it was all black and white decorations with yummy breakfast food. While the kids ate and played there was a lady there to do face paint for the kids. The girls were all on board and quickly jumped in line. Hudson, however, had no interest and just wanted to watch. Hadley picked a beautiful heart princess and it turned out just like she wanted! All the girls were creative with what they wanted and then.....a little boy picked Batman. After he was finished he walked by Hudson and Hudson's eyes lit up! He quickly jumped in line and waited his turn. He sat perfectly still while the lady painted and his face was priceless when she turned the mirror around to show him his batman mask...

 

I said, "Hudson, you look like Batman." He said, "Mommy, I am Batman!"

Alicia had set up a photo prop area for pictures. Right before we left Hadley and Hudson jumped up there to be goofy for some pictures. We had such a great time and it was a fun idea for a party. I'm always anxious to see what she comes up with the next  year!

After getting home from the party Hadley wanted to go hit balls at the batting cages. I was too busy watching her and video taping her to take an actual picture but she did pretty well for her first time! Hudson wanted to try to hit as well and it was so funny to watch him swing. He actually hit one ball on accident but it sure made him excited!

Matt kept telling Hudson to stay out of the cages but at one point he stepped in just in time for the ball to come off Hadley's bat and hit him in the neck. It scared him more than hurt him but it sure did bring the tears! Unfortunately, I made the mistake of telling him he was messing up his Batman mask. He wanted to see and as soon as I showed him on my phone he was hysterical. He kept telling me we had to go back to the party and fix it! Poor guy was so sad to not be batman anymore!
