He would like to have it at our house so that he can play party games (parachute, etc.) and decorate the house.

Need Ideas for Party Favors

Does anyone have any suggestions for Birthday Party's? With 3 young girls, a nephew a stepson, & not to mention all my friends kids, I feel like we are constantly going to the same places for birthday parties.
