My little man is 4! And keeping up with tradition, I tried to plan him a fun birthday party. Over the summer he was introduced to Toy Story via a game I got him (on sale) for his Click Start computer. He really enjoyed it, but really didn't know what it was all about since we don't own the movies. I found a VHS of the first one at a garage sale for 50 cents and he has absolutely LOVED it. So I promised him a Toy Story Birthday party. It has been perfect timing with the first 2 movies being released in the theaters the day after his birthday! So Micah and I took him this past Saturday to see them. He really loved it, especially since he'd never seen the second one before. Although he really didn't keep the glasses on the whole time. Then on Sunday we had his party! I found this cowboy costume on our trip to Florida and asked him if he wanted to be that for Halloween, and he was super excited about it-and said he looked just like Woody! Perfect, he can wear it to his party too :)
Very excited to see what Movie he was seeing-we kept everything a surprise :)
As long as there is popcorn...I really don't think he cared too much!
I decorated the rocket ship and Kiki decorated the cowboy boot.
Ally and Aiden patiently waiting for the next game to start. I had taped little aliens to suckers and had Micah stick them in the grass and told the kids to go "Rescue the Aliens!" We also "Made a Galaxy" with baby oil, water, glitter, and stars in a bottle for each kid. However they didn't quite turn out the way I hoped they would. I read it was half and half of water and oil, but that didn't quite cut it. Oh well...
We then played "Pass the Space Rock" which was a toy wrapped in foil. I had enough for everyone to win in the end. So if you were "out" you still got the toy.
The final round came down to Ally and Devin!
Devin Won!! haha (I am pretty positive that was not planned)
Showing off the slinky dog toy that was in the space rock.
I had to demonstrate the next game which was horse relay races. Thanks to Laura who was in charge of the camera, got me! I'm being sarcastic...... ;)
On your Mark, Get Set, GOOOO!!
Everyone got a prize
Hannah's fake baby for school :) I think she named him Apollo...if I recall correctly.
Singing Happy Birthday
Present time.
Blowing kisses to everyone and saying a big Thank You! for coming and all the fun gifts :)
His best pal Woody
All cowboys need their rest ;)
Pumpkins!
My special designer bumpy pumpkin.
Devin's little baby pumpkin-that he threw-repeatedly-like a ball...
Glad I brought the wagon!
Say what??
Ooomph! I can get it!
Look at me try to pick this up...
and then fall down ;)
Uncle Adam-in shorts!! And even though Devin looks like he's wearing shorts too-he's not!
It comes off!
Scooping the goop. They did so great this year. I remember last year Aiden just cried and didn't want to have anything to do with the process at all. It was painful to try and get some sort of picture out of him at the time. Maybe that's why I went so crazy this year ;)
Ewwww!
Yuck!
Dan and Mallorie did a great job helping out too.
Carving time
Aiden was begging us to let him help, and was so excited when we said he could. He picked out all the designs and then Micah supervised his carving skills. Then he would take the little saw and shove it in and out of the side of Mallorie's pumpkin when he was done with Micah's.
hard at work...
We did a good job!
ooooohhhhh-scary ;)
