Ethan's 8th Birthday Party! Black Hole, Crystal, Science Party

Ethan's 8th Birthday Party was loosely "Black Hole" themed with a nod to his love of his crystals with "Crystal Growing Tree" experiment kits as party favors. 

Mostly the kids just had fun playing in the playroom with our party lights going.

But Ethan did devise a game of throwing glow in the dark stars and "comets" into a "black hole".

We also added glow in the dark stars to the ceiling to increase the spacey feeling.

The best part however was the dry ice bubbles.

These are always a hit with my kids.

The party guests loved them too.

Can't believe there are 8 candles on that cupcake, kid.

Happy Birthday Kiddo.

Landon's Lego Birthday Party!

Landon, for your 5th birthday, you had a Lego themed party! You had both sets of your Grand Parents there as well as some of your best friends who you play with weekly.

We had lego tower ring toss, and had planned more games like relay races with legos balancing in spoons but you and your friends has so much fun just playing that we pretty much just stuck to that! At one point everyone was outside playing in the backyard together. You had a lot of fun.

Everyone got a small lego set and a package of Oreo's in their goody bag. Two of your favorite things.

Grammy was staying in town with us a couple weeks prior to your birthday and she made white chocolate lego pieces and lego men for your party!

The biggest hit of the party was the bowl of colorful skittles. You and your friends had fun camping out next to the skittles bowl.

You had so much fun kiddo! It was the perfect party for you! (And after the party, you took your 5 decoration and turned it into a number five shaped house)

Ethan's 7th Birthday Party: Minecraft!

I don't have a lot of pictures from the party because I forgot to clear my camera memory card and ran out of space- oops!

Landon's 4th Birthday Party!

For Landon's 4th Birthday party, he told us he wanted a "Light Bulb" themed party. He never wavered from this idea so we ran with it!

Really, no other idea could have been more perfect for him. We had group of close friends and family and all our lightup toys available as well as some new ones- two party lights and a plasma ball.

For party favors, we had flashlights and funny glasses that distort the lights and create a rainbow design.

The party was a lot of fun and it was especially fun watching Landon jump up and down and get excited about his party. He really understood that it was all for him and he danced to the birthday song and basked in the attention.

He was especially excited to open his presents and enjoyed all the new toys!

Happy 4th  Birthday Landon!
