I LOVE throwing birthday parties.  I have so much fun decorating and making sure every little detail is taken care of to ensure a fun gathering of friends and family.  My middle child’s birthday usually has nice sunny weather, so it’s almost become a tradition to throw his party at the beach cottage. I don’t always want to go with the typical “beach theme” every year, so I’ve tried to change it up. For his fourth birthday we decided to make it a monster theme. But how in the world do you incorporate it into the beach location? Monster Beach Bash!!!
