We have now officially entered the world of the BIRTHDAY PARTY. I’ve put off having a friend party for a few years, but it was inevitable that he would figure out that other kids have awesomely fun birthday parties and that he’d want one too. :)
He loves LEGOs and chose that as his theme. My awesome friend had blogged about her son’s LEGO party so I copied a lot of her ideas and turned to good ‘ole Pinterest for inspiration. So, here was Adam’s 6th birthday party!
I thought his invitation turned out really cute!
As the boys were arriving, they colored a LEGO man outline while we waited for everyone. I don’t have any pictures, but they were cute!
The highlight of the party was building cars and having a race!
The finished cars
Adam’s race car. I particularly like the little guy in the front.
Racing!
It was funny how some cars went wonky and fell off the board and some went perfectly straight. We did several heats and declared a winner.
Although not the fastest, Abby’s car was actually the one that went the farthest after crossing the finish line. Daddy says she did most of the work. Uh-huh.
For lunch we had pizza and Kool-aid. Apparently Adam has never had Kool-aid before and declared it delicious!
They then played “Pin the Head on the LEGO man”
Presents!!
(It’s a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle pillow…..not just blue)
A blue LEGO brick cake.
The frosting. Oh, the frosting. I’m focusing on the fact that it was a delicious, perfectly baked homemade chocolate cake. That’s what really counts right?
A very happy birthday boy!
Baby Brother liked the cake too!
After cake they all ran upstairs and had crazy, hyper fun. Honestly, I think that was their favorite part of the whole party! I think next year I’m just going to invite all his friends over and tell them to go play!
The party favor table.
I put circles on the bags to make them look like a LEGO brick. I tied balloons onto mason jars filled with Duplos, for this table and also the big table. It’s all in the details right? Because 6 year old boys really notice the details.
Inside the favor bags were stickers, a maze toy, LEGO candy (you can actually build with them….pretty cool!), crayons shaped like LEGO men and bricks that I proudly made myself, a LEGO Club Jr. magazine and they also got to take home their race cars.
It was fun and crazy and most importantly my boy was happy. He gave me lots of thank you hugs the rest of the day. I can’t believe my baby boy is 6. Nearly. He still has 5 more days of being 5 and I’m going to savor each one!
