Where The Wild Things Are Birthday Party!

Where the Wild things are based off the book Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak

We wanted to share are pictures from “Where the Wild Things Are” or  “Let the Rumpus Begin” Birthday Party.  I know the book say’s let the rumpus start but we liked “begin” better for our birthday boy party, with our own little twist on wild things.
