Camouflage Camo Birthday Party Ideas

Camo Birthday Party Ideas – Camouflage party theme for the hunter, outdoor enthusiast, army soldier or survivor aka mother of five with twins celebrating their first birthday.

Camo Birthday Party Ideas

Camouflage Camo Birthday Party Ideas

I cannot believe I am putting this post together. As many of you know, almost a year ago (December 2017), my husband and I were blessed with twins. Twins are hard enough but these two happened to be the cherries on what was already a “larger” family. You see, these boys added numbers four and five to our mix, making us Langston Party of Seven.  I began planning for a larger first birthday. This was because the twins birthday is very close to Christmas (December 22) and I figured it was knocking two birds with one stone when we visited Florida. Getting the family together for Christmas and also for a one year old birthday celebration.

The First Year

I began researching ideas. Camo never came to mind. In fact, neither of us being hunters, it was very low on the list. My husband then stated, “Hey, let’s make this birthday about us. We survived the first year.” His phrase stuck. We survived and instantly the baby birthday celebration took on a whole new meaning, the survival of the first year for my husband and I.

We Survived

SO that is what it is. I share many camo birthday party ideas for the outdoor enthusiast, I share camo birthday party ideas for the army soldier, but I also share camo birthday party ideas for the parents of five kids who survived the first year of having twins. We did it husband! We survived! 

Camo Birthday Party Games

If you are planning a camo birthday party – army style, survival theme, or even a hunting theme, we have the kids party games for you.

Enjoy these 12 Camo Inspired Party Games for kids. Set comes with directions and supply list to keep your kids entertained and busy creating hungry stomachs for snacking on party food!

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD

Online you can find ENDLESS Elf on the Shelf Accessories, Books, Games and Toys.
