Stephen's Birthday Party

Sunday was Stephen's birthday party.  We had it at Gymboree and I did a construction theme.  It was a lot of fun!  I think all of the kids had a blast!

The party room:



I made the cake and I was so nervous about how it would turn out, but I think it turned out great!  And it tasted SO good!  Everyone really liked it.



I also got white cupcakes just in case anyone didn't like chocolate.  And we had goldfish to snack on.



Stephen checking out his cake.  I put it together at Gymboree so he didn't get to see it at home.  He loved it!





We were trying to get him to hold up 2 fingers, but he wouldn't do it.



Time to play!













Christian:







Janssen:



Harrison:















Kennedy, she lives next door to us.



Vianey and Bella:



Christian, Stephen and Everett:





Livi:



Hayden:



Stephen fell right on his face just before this activity, so that is why his nose is all red.



This was the car game.  The would use their steering wheel, aka hoop, and drive and when the music stopped they would freeze.









It took Stephen a minute to warm up to this, but then he loved it!























Stephen and Hayden, best buds!



























Christian was trying to help Stephen up.







Janssen wasn't so sure about my camera.  He would look at me like this anytime I was near.

















Bubbles!















Hayden tackled Stephen.  These two are like brothers, they love each other but fight like brothers!













Inside the parachute:









Our friend, Giovanna, took this one.  Proof I was there.  I just had the camera up to my eye the whole time.



Then it was time for cake.



They turned the lights out and I didn't have much time to change my settings, so this was the best I could do.







He blew the candle right out!









After eating cake and a snack, they played a little more.



I have never seen a baby pose like Bella does.  She is so cute!



Livi was so cute with her bracelets.













It's not a party until someone gets chocolate on their shirt!!





Hayden going down, Stephen going up.  Oh these boys!







Jess took this one with her phone and I thought it was so cute!



The party was so much fun!  I know Stephen had a blast!

After the party we went across the street to Maggiano's for dinner with our families.  I realized we never took a picture of us, so we snapped a quick one before we went in.



We didn't have time to open all of the presents at the party, so we opened them when we got home.









The aftermath, and only about a half of it.  I had already moved a bunch out to make room for more.  One very luck boy!  He needed new toys so I know he will have lots of fun playing with these.



I know I said this a bunch, but this party was a ton of fun!
