Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go. For the children, they mark, and the children they know the place where the sidewalk ends.

Cameron's STAR WARS, BATMAN, DINOSAUR, SURPRISE, birthday party
Any time Cameron talked about wanting a birthday party, he insisted on the above criteria. Pulling off the "surprise" part was a little tricky considering he asked for it, but we made it happen ;)

My friend Heather took Cameron for about an hour, so he'd be out of the house when his guests arrived. This is his moment of "surprise."
Ewan, Heather and Evelyn hiding behind a chair with their Batman masks, ready to say "surprise"
Me and Heather. Heather wore her mask for at least the first hour of the party.
We played a different game for each of Cameron's requested themes. First we played "Dinosaur, Dinosaur, who's got the Dinosaur?"
Then for star wars, we played "Pin the Anakin on the Starfighter."
Finally, we played "Batman Hide and Seek" where Batman was "it" and the other kids were "bad guys" from the batman comics.
Always sure of what he wants, Cameron asked for a "store bought chocolate cake with chocolate frosting." I love this picture of him blowing out his candles.
Opening presents
With all that we have been through in the past two months with Cameron, I was so, so nervous about how he would cope with a houseful of children and all of the excitement. It was a RAGING success and I am happy to say that I think everyone had a great time and best of all...ITS OVER!

Beautiful! I love how excited he was, impressive you surprised him. I get a little teary thinking about how happy you must have made your sweet boy and how important that was for you. As always, I ADORE you!!!
