Jake's birthday was at the beginning of April, right at the beginning of the quarantine. At the time we promised him he'd get a friend party at some point, but after awhile he kind of forgot about it. I decided with everything he's having to give up (regular school, friends coming over, some of his favorite places still being closed) he should get a party!
This is what a five year (and five month) mid-COVID-19 party looks like: we did it outside, made cupcakes rather than a cake and didn't bother with candles, and all the treats other than the cupcakes were individually wrapped. Jake wanted pink cupcakes with sprinkles and got to help me pick out the treats. We asked friends to wear masks, because one friend wouldn't have been able to come if we hadn't, and just played for an hour. No organized games, just a bunch of littles running around happy to be together.
Jake felt loved and was happy with his friends and gifts, so mission accomplished.

Such cuties!! I'm so glad he had fun and has a mom committed to helping her kids have great memories.
Sounds like a perfect party!
