When I talked to Zack a few months ago I mentioned that he was turning 5 and that he could have a friend party if he wanted. He has been dying to have one for awhile now! So...upon further questioning and knowing my little Zack, we went with the Lego theme!
He wanted to invite his preschool friends, a church friend or 2, and then of course his cousins who live 15min away. Well, for now they do on the weekends! He checked the calendar daily to see how many days were left until his party. The night before and the day of he was visibly shaking with excitement. All Saturday he asked a thousand times when his friends were coming over. It is fun to make him feel special on his special day and to see him so happy and excited!
The invitations he helped me put together:
The party bags
Decorations
Our in-between games activity, Legos of course!
Lego head balloons!
Our first activity was decorating mini-figures. The kids LOVED this!
Next was pin the smile on the Lego head. This game was hilarious!
As you can see the smiles ended up all over the place and it was good to see them all laughing at themselves!
Next, we busted the Lego piece piñata. They each got several swings and at the end we had them line up and Dan took a big swing sending the candy everywhere. They all had their bags in hand and dove in! Made the work of making that thing worth it!
Next, cake and ice cream! Lego piece rainbow cake! Zack was so so so happy. He was a little concerned about having fire close to him. Even a day later he tells me, "I had fire close to me!"
Such a cute bunch of kiddos
Following cake we finished off with presents and a few little games to kill the last few minutes before the mom's and dad's came. This little man was elated and I am so happy he had such a fun birthday. He deserved ALL of it! We love our little Zackary and what he brings to our family!
In their goody bags we put little Lego sets. The boys spent the next little while putting theirs and the couple of extras together.
One more picture of the paper-mache pinata that took the most time of all!
This is the face of the little man after his big day. Nothing but big ol smiles! Can't wait to spoil him a little more on his actual birthday!
