LEGO Birthday (& Party Planning)

PIN THIS POST My favorite moment of a birthday party is before it actually starts, when everything is setup and calm, but full of the anticipation of all the fun. Brian’s 5th birthday a few weeks ago was his first friend-party, a huge milestone in a little man’s life. He loves so many things that […]
