With four kids, birthday party ideas are hard to come up with at times.
Thankfully my kids are willing to go with a theme- and this year the parties are all Marvel or superhero inspired. Because they are kinda my jam.
We’ve been watching the Marvel movies in order in anticipation of the Avengers: Infinity War coming out in a few weeks. And I’m also geeking out over the Incredibles 2 movie coming this summer.
My youngest is asking for an Incredibles 2 movie themed?birthday party and I’ve already got one Incredibles birthday party idea for her: these Incredibles 2 movie Mask cookies. Check those out- they are so cute!
The next birthday party coming up is definitely going to be celebrated with sprinkled donuts because that’s how my oldest rolls.
