Skyler's 5
th birthday party was this past
Saturday... I took lots of pictures!
He wanted a Lego party - it was fun to do a party with a theme other than Batman, Star Wars, Blues Clues, Thomas the Train,
ect. We had a great time.
This picture turned out a little blurry, but it was our center piece. On Friday we had gone to the Lego store in
Bellevue and while Tom made a few purchases I took some fun pictures of Skyler outside the store.
I had this party planned to the minute, with 10 boys here I thought being over prepared was best. So here was my "command center." And yes, that's a schedule on the wall with times by each thing. It worked well having everything all in one place.
As the boys arrived Tom was playing "hot Lego" (better known as "hot
potato" with them using our
Lego cars. It was an easy game to keep adding kids to. I didn't get a picture of Lego Bingo, but that was next. I made Bingo sheets for each kid with
Lego characters in each square, like Lego Batman, Lego Buzz, Lego Darth
Vadar..... they each got a baggie with 16
Lego bricks to use as markers.
Then we divided into 2 groups. Each boy kept their baggie of
Lego's to use for the Lego Toss
And the Lego Drop. As they had arrived I gave everyone a tag to wear with all the things listed we were going to do-they really liked looking at
their tags to see what was next, when cake was,
ect. Also it gave them somewhere to put the stickers they earned from all the games.
Then we had our Lego building contest. We
dumped all our
Lego's down 2 long tables and let them just go to town building. They were really quiet.
And let's not forget this little cutie - she was in the high chair most of the party.
Next came the Lego Atlantis movie. It was 22 minutes and is on the Lego website. We hooked the laptop up to the
TV and all the boys loved it. While the movie played I
wrote out labels for
everyone's Lego creation award and stuck them on the trophies they each got to take home. Tom cleared the tables of all the
Lego's and set them for cake. When the movie was over we were ready for the rest of the party.
While the boys were still on the floor from the movie we opened presents. Lots of Lego sets - and some other fun toys. Skyler was spoiled. Thank you to all his friends!
Then came the cake. Thank you Costco! I ordered
their grid cake without the rose buds on each piece and with the center with his name on it. I asked them to make the grid lines in primary colors and we were set. I put Lego brick candies in the blank squares and the kids thought that was SO COOL....
Skyler's birthday wish was "for the whole world to be made out of yellow and blue
Legos." His actual birthday is this coming Thursday so I'll be back with another Skyler post!
