Party like a Superhero

We had Colin's birthday party today.  Super fun!  Will and I were a little hesitant having more than just the 4 nephews and adults this time....We had a full-blown par-tay!!  It actually went pretty well.  It was Superhero themed.  So, a lot of Batman, Spider-man, and Ironman decorations.  Will and I came up with some pretty fun games.  There was Pin the Spider on Spider-man (that was mine, thank you!), Clothes Pins in the Mason Jar, Hackey sack Toss, Bowling, and Guess How Many Superhero-colored Candies in a jar.  There were some lessons learned but overall it went pretty smoothly.  Prizes were won, fun was had and smiles were all around.



Colin really enjoyed himself.  He did think at first, since he was the Birthday Boy, all of the prizes were for him.  But once I explained the wrapped gifts were for him and the prizes were for his friends he understood.  For the most part.  There may have been a relapse or two.  Maybe.  Colin made off like a bandit.  He got some really cool gifts.  We try to take a picture of all of his gifts each year so he can look back at them when he is older.  I remember doing that once I got a camera for Christmas.  It is a lot of fun to come across those now that the toys have all come and gone.

A Happy Boy

We are making him wait until his actual birthday (Monday) to open our gifts for him.  We want to make sure he understands that it is his real birthday.  I cannot believe our baby boy will be 4!!!

Storytime (our walls are definitely not purple, I blame the camera on Will's phone)

Most of the ideas for this party came from inspiration from pinterst.com.  A site that I just love!
