The theme was &#8220;Mighty Makgill&#8221;, and we kept it &#8220;smaller&#8221;, focused on Mak&#8217;s friends instead of all of ours (imagine that!), for simplicity sake.  I&#8217;m so glad we did!  This is by far the simplest party we have ever had for him, but the one he has had the most fun at.  We celebrated at FunDayGo, what Makgill has been saying he wanted for his party for months now.  This is pretty much Mak&#8217;s FAVORITE place to be (besides Disney, of course!), so it was fitting that we had his party here.  My Super-hero and all of his little super-hero friends had a great time running around, jumping, sliding, and in general acting like little maniacs!  Mak told us at supper that it was his &#8220;most favorite party ever&#8221;.  That&#8217;s all I needed to hear! <\/p>\n<p>The one complaint (from Collin, not Mak) was the lighting.  Definitely not a photographer&#8217;s ideal situation!  But you can still get the point from the pictures&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and THANK-YOU, Christina, for taking the camera from Collin for awhile so that he could actually enjoy his son&#8217;s party!  We REALLY appreciate it!<\/p>\n<p>Mighty Mak!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/mak4party0005.jpg\" title=\"mak4party0005.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/mak4party0005.jpg\" alt=\"mak4party0005.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And his little sister, Wonder Woman.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/mak4party0009.jpg\" title=\"mak4party0009.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/mak4party0009.jpg\" alt=\"mak4party0009.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/mak4party0017.jpg\" title=\"mak4party0017.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/mak4party0017.jpg\" alt=\"mak4party0017.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sweet T had a great time, as always.
