Harry Potter
Birthday Party
For Jake's 10th birthday, we through an epic Harry Potter themed party. I have to say that it is a good thing he chose "Harry Potter" as the theme as I was WAY into decorating and planning--I am a huge Harry Potter fan. One thing is for sure--when I like the theme, the party is so much more fun!
I sure love my little boy, and I am happy I got to celebrate him in such a fun way. Jake is such a special part of our lives and our family. I can't imagine life without him being a part of it! I am grateful every day that he is mine. A few things I love about this 10 year-old of mine:
He's always ready for a good laugh.

He will be the first to jump into an exciting game of Nerf Wars.
He loves his daddy and adores everything about him.
He thinks his sisters are pretty fun too.
He is kind-hearted.
He is knowledgeable in the gospel.
He has a testimony.
He loves The Book of Mormon.
He wants to be good.
He tries hard everyday.
He is my favorite little boy around. (And I can have a favorite!)
Most importantly--he loves Jesus Christ.
Truly, I wish I could put into words the feelings of my heart when it comes to this little man...I am so grateful I get to be his mom.

I made brooms for every child. I used wooden dowels, willow twigs, and hot-glue. I hot-glued the willows to the dowel first, and then wrapped them with rope to hold them in place. |
We put a walkie-talkie in the end of the sorting hat. I spoke a little louder than usual, so my husband knew when to speak, and then he sorted the kids from the other room. It worked perfectly! |

This was my favorite part of decorating. I loved the candy and the signs...really--everything about it. It was so much fun! |
I loved re-creating Hagrid's cake! |
Jake led everyone with his wand in singing Happy Birthday to him. It totally cracked me up! |
