On Saturday we celebrated Emory's 5th Birthday! Andrea did such a wonderful job getting our house ready for guests, ordering the cake, organizing and helping the kids with activities to make Emory's birthday a great one!
The kids drew monsters on an old sheet with markers - reason why you may ask?...you'll see...
Then, because it was a very nice day, they made their own pizzas out on the deck! Andrea made the dough prior to the party, and had little cups of sauce and cheese ready, and they had a very fun time making pizza. Then, while the pizza's cooked...
...all the kids got thier own can of Silly String and they 'shot' their monsters on the sheet! They all loved it so much!
Even Lily got to partake in the action (with a little help from Mama)
As you would expect, not only the monsters ended up being shot...
and when the can's ran out, they picked up the string and threw it at the monsters...
Here, Emory has a big jump to reach the high monsters
after that, we sent the kids downstairs to play with Balloons...Daddy then played a monster and was demolished by 7 little boys and girls with balloons - tiny little fists of fury batting me down
After we ate our pizza's, it was time for presents!
and then cake. Emory picked out his own cake, and you may wonder what a tank is doing in the center of a Halloween theme cake...well, he is a little boy (and the tank is a transformer, and that was the theme of his party).
Bye-bye...thanks to all my friends and family who helped make my special day wonderful!
