January Birthday Bash

5 out of the 11 birthdays in our family are in January so we usually have 1 big party for the grown ups and then individual parties for the 2 grandkids. Here are some pics from our party today. We had cheescake as the actually birthday cake but they are blowing the candles out on brownie bites that I added a little frosting on.

Blowing out the candles

Even the non-birthday kids got in on blowing out candles.

Yummm! Jalapeno Poppers,Byron's specialty

We had sub sandwiches with all the fixin's.

Here are some of the party-goers.

Here is Payten's Adventurer Kit that Meghan made.

A notepad for observations and labels.

Inside there is a snake, glow sticks, flashlight, compass (he was SO excited to have one that really works), magnifying glass, binoculars, camera, pirate eye patches, fake moustache and little containers for all of his "finds".

A friendly fox to help him with his adventures and an official "adventurer" badge.

This is the Harry Potter kit that Meghan made Skyler for his birthday. She used an old suitcase and modge podged some pictures on the sides.

Inside was an owl and a cape with the Gryffindor House badge, his acceptance letter to Hogwarts, a potions notebook and the book entitled, "I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good". There is also a wand that she made out of paper. paint and hot glue. It's amazing.
