Jack's Birthday Party

We celebrated this year with a Lego party, of course!  It was a super fun party to plan and create. 



We made giant Legos for the front door and used his Legos to make a door sign. 





We had lots of yummy food.  












I bought Lego silicone molds and made Lego and minifigure shaped candies for the tops of the cupcakes.  





More decor... 

























We had stations set up for the kids.  There were about 15 kids here and at one point, it was eerily quiet...  most of the kids were all building Legos downstairs.  It kept them SO busy! We were also playing the Lego movie down there (that may have had something to do with it, too!).





We also had a Lego Duplo station for the younger kids, a bean bag toss outside (it was GORGEOUS that day!!), a Lego toss in the hallway, and decorate a minifigure at the table. 













Gran made an awesome Lego cake for Jack Man! It was super yummy, too! 



Jack got so many nice gifts.  We spent LOTS of time that next week building all his new Lego sets.

 


Wonder what his 6th birthday party will be??

Jack's 5th Birthday

Jack's birthday didn't fall on a preschool day, so he got to celebrate a day early there.  He took a cookie cake, got a birthday crown, and everyone sung to him. 



The next morning on his actual birthday, we started with a birthday donut breakfast. 


I love his little sleepy eyes in these pictures. 


He and I had our MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) meeting to go to that morning. He requested McDonald's for his birthday dinner.  Ha! Gross. I talked him into just going there for lunch after MOPS. He was a happy camper. 



That evening, we had homemade pizza. He chose not to go out for dinner, but wanted pizza instead.  He's a simple guy.  McDonalds and pizza. 



After dinner, it was time for presents.  His favorite part! 


He got a few Lego sets and tickets to Legofest in March.  


I made him a Lego cake.  Don't you just LOVE my cake decorating skills (wink, wink!)?? I should probably look into taking a class because I always think I can pull it off and then it turns out something like this. Ha! 


All in all, he had a GREAT birthday!!
