Party time! (1 of 2)


We have been to quite a few parties recently. SIX in one month! Three birthday parties and three Halloween parties. Here is a small peek at what the birthday parties looked like.

The festivities began with Vinny's birthday party. He turned 6 years old.

 Vinny's birthday party was a Star Wars Ninja Camp theme.
 Each kid got backpacks filled with items they needed for their training to be a ninja.

 They all took turns whacking the piƱatas.



 There were TWO birthday cakes!
 Elsa told the kids a story about the princess being captured, and how she was saved.
 The boys gathered to play Bey Blades.
 And Caitlin and Victoria played house with Elsa!

The very next day we went to an Egyptian birthday party. We celebrated Caelum turning 7!

 The kids started off with an Egyptian dig, searching for artifacts.
Then they did a Mummy Mystery game. Caelum's mom Julie wrapped up several items in tissue paper. The kids had to guess what each item was.

In the end they all received a papyrus bookmark!

  For lunch they made mummy pizzas! (Recipe here)
They played several games such as "Crocodiles chasing archeologists" and "Snake Toss." They also had to put together an Egyptian puzzle from their artifact dig. They even got to make their own trinket boxes which they filled with "gems".


And Caelum had a really awesome looking birthday cake!
 

The 3rd and final birthday party we attended was Tyler's 8th birthday. He had a military party.

All of the kids dressed up in camo gear.

 They played games such as manhunt,

 capture the flag,


 and wounded soldier.




 Tyler even had camo cupcakes!

The kids have been wearing some sort of camo gear every single day since the party!
