Happy "Bird day" Brady...

Our littlest man celebrated his 6th birthday on March 8th. This was probably the biggest party we have ever had for one of our boys...he REALLY wanted to invite his whole Kindergarten class, and since we were renting the game room areas at our Southlake Church campus, we decided we would do just that! It was a great place to have a party for a bunch of busy 6 year olds! Brady is a huge fan of the iPhone app, "Angry Birds", so it quickly became the theme for our party. Donny designed the invitations, Mom and Dad printed it at Rainbow Press, and I was in charge of decorations.

We played Angry Bird games, complete with our own version of the game using theraband that I "borrowed" from work, bean bags, and blocks from our house. Then we had an egg hunt...looking for the golden eggs that the pigs stole from the birds (just a way to get candy junk into their goody bags!). We had cupcakes and ice cream cups, and even had some "bird food" (pretzels and cheese it's) in case our little guests needed a salty snack.





All the boys started off pretending to be the "angry birds" and they shot at the blocks. The girls were pretending to be the "pigs" and were at the end where I was taking pictures from. They waited until a boy knocked down the block tower, then worked together to build it back for them to shoot at again. Once all the boys had a turn to shoot, the girls became the birds and the boys became the pigs. Fun!


Boys decided to just lay down and take a break on the field while the girls tried to shoot...they would spring back up when the tower got knocked down and build it back up!

The balloon characters I made (thanks to free printable templates online!)




we love our little Angry bird 6 year old!

I think Brady had a blast...and that's all that matters. Donny and I are just thankful we are done with party season for another year! ha! There is nothing as fun as watching your child be celebrated and honored by others, and we sure enjoyed meeting a lot of his school buddies and their parents. Now, how can my baby boy really be 6 years old???
