Happy 4th Birthday Grayden!
Grayden helped me make his cake...
Then later it was time for his gifts from mom and dad.
We got him a rid on CAT backhoe...
and a big Buzz Lightyear!
That Saturday was party day!
We made party hats for all of the kids...
Every place had a name card, placemat and a hat!
We had a grinch on the wall for the kids to play pin the heart on the grinch...
A Suess sign for directions...
A Lorax bean bag toss...
And a Cat in the Hat prop for pictures!
The cake that Grayden and I made was too fluffy and it fell the night before party... this one is the one that Sara made when she was at the house helping out. I didn't have time to decorate it... so it is pretty plain. Still tasted amazing though!
We had Hop on Pop popcorn...
One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish, goldfish...
Sneetch Bellies with Stars and without Stars (Chocolate covered marshmallows)...
Yertles Carmel Turtles...
Poodles with Noodles pasta salad...
Green Eggs and Ham & Cheese Sliders...
Beezlenut Splash (Sprite and Jello)...
Pink Ink Yink Drink (Pink Lemonade)...
And fun straws for the drinks!
The bean bag toss was a huge hit!
Now time for presents...
Tons of fun new things to play with!
And we almost forgot about the cake!
We talked about what it means to make a wish when you blow out the candles the day before the party.
But when it came time to blow them out we told him to make a wish and he asked "how do you make a wish".
Very Cute!
After cake he got to play his new game with his Aunt Pam.
And later that night Sara and Chris came back over with his birthday gift...
A dog hat/scarf... very cool!
We had asked for food donations for the local food bank this year instead of gifts.
We had a HUGE donation to give them!
We took the donations to the Marysville Food Pantry the next weekend. Grayden was so excited to be able to help people!
