birthday wrap-up...

dinner with the family...

note:  the 9 year old was grounded, hence the reason for not seeing him in the "birthday dinner" pics. :)

we love birthdays!

from november through january, we have a lot of birthdays!  C started off the fun by turning 5 this past week.  the kid absolutely adores legos, so having a lego themed party was a no-brainer.

i found all the cute printables on this great site...

gift bags for the guests...

 the decorations/treats...

t

 lego chocolates...

dad helped with the fun plates...

when the kids arrived they colored lego coloring sheets...

next we gave all the guests their own lego iron on shirt.  i just used the "lego cupcake toppers" and enlarged them, then printed them on iron-on paper...
then we played the lego tower challenge.  each team had to see who could build the highest lego tower in 5 minutes...

C received a "lego star-wars" movie for his birthday.  it was a short, 22 minute movie and the kids just loved it...

 

just resting his eyes during the movie...

we then had all the guests decorate a foam picture frame.  we took a picture of C with each of his friends, that we will print off put in the frame and give to them later...

sleepy-head woke up just in time for the end of the party...

then it was present and cupcake time...

we love C!  he sure keeps us on our toes and has taught me patience more than any of my other children! :)  he keeps us laughing and is a fun addition to the cragun brothers.  happy birthday to our 5 year old!
