My oldest just turned 8! I can’t believe this is the 8th birthday party we’ve done for him, and am acutely aware that he may not want me to throw him a themed birthday party much longer. But for now, while he still embraces it, I’m going to continue embracing it in all the Pinterest-scouring glory. The theme G chose this year was especially fun: emoji! Save yourself the Pinterest scouring, and get all my recommendations for throwing a fab kid’s emoji-themed birthday party.
