Birthday Party #8

OK! We have been snowed in for over a week and it just keeps coming down. Enough already!
Over the weekend, I tried to throw together a last minute birthday party for Adam. It just for family, so no pressure. It was a good thing because when I say thrown together I mean... thrown together, last minute, everything from the dollar store party. In the weeks leading up to Adams birthday I kept asking him if he wanted to have friends over for his birthday or do a big party, but he kept saying he just wanted family, no friends. Works for me. :)
This is really embarrassing and I cant believe I am even posting a picture, but these pitiful cupcakes were "thrown together" about an hour before the party. Seriously...looking back I am wondering why I didn't even attempt to make the icing pretty. Boys just don't care about stuff like that.
Goodie baskets "thrown together" from the dollar store. Whoopie cushions, balls, sour patch kids...you know, all the good junkie stuff.
Baby brother Colton got this book for Adam. He is thoughtful like that. ;)
Bentley & Adam blowing out the candles. notice Bentley's battle scar on his cheek. The boys were out sledding and Bentley slid into a tree. Ouch!

I saw this idea for doing thank you cards for kids. Obviously her pictures were really good and cute (not going to happen with my crappy camera). We tried the same idea and here are the results. Nice Smile Adam! Thanks Poppy & Gigi for the Mario game.
Thanks Bentley & Riley for he Nerf gun...Colton likes it too.
Uncle Matt, Bailey & Noah, Thanks for the GINORMOUS box with a gift 1/10 it size inside. Interesting.
The rest of you party goers can expect your thank you photo picture in the mail soon.

Your cupcakes look really good!! Aren't they funfetti?? Yummy!

You are always very hard on yourself- the party looks like it was great. You know how it is, as long as the kid gets presents and cake, it's all good!

Well, for a party that was thrown together at the last minute I'm impressed!!! Seriously, the cupcakes look pretty good to me. I really like the thank you picture thing...have to remember that for next Christmas.
