One hand isn't enough!

Tyler turned 6 on September 4th and this year he really wanted a friend party. SO Trisha and I made some cute invitations for the boys in his primary class.

The night before While Trisha and I decorated the living room Joe blew up almost 100 balloons (not by mouth he used a air pump) and we decided to put them all in his room to surprise him when he woke up. I went to roll over at 6am just to see the biggest smile in my face EVER. He was so excited about all the balloons he woke everyone up and they all took turns sliding into the balloons.
Reagan didn't want to get ready for the day she was having to much fun but I finally talked them all into breakfast with some toaster strudels and Cinnamon rolls (Tyler's pick).
Before school we let him open 2 gifts. He chose one from his cousins Jaxon and Troy and one from us.

Trisha and I ran off to the the gym and quickly returned home to work on the cake. We were throwing Tyler a surprise star wars cake so we make a light saber cake.
I rushed off to pick up Tyler while Trisha waited for the 4 wild boys to show up. She was terrified being left with them and it was only for 5 minutes. She said that it was the first time she wished she had a drivers license because she would rather go get Tyler.
We played a bunch of games to "train" to become official Jedi masters. Here are all the Jedi's in the cloaks I made for them.

Tyler opened his presents

And then the biggest hit was playing with legos. I dumped out all the legos so they could create a ship or star port and they loved it. They played with these for at least 45 minutes.


Tyler cook was very creative and made this star ship.

After Joe got home and the kids were all gone he opened the presents from us.
By the end of the day Trisha and I sunk into the couch exhausted!!!

Such a good mom you are! (That's how Yoda would say iy right!) Cutest invitations and capes! Great cake! You're a little ball of talent! You should start a party planning business. Fun stuff! p.s. your party reminds me of the scene from The Office where Holly and Michael meet and start talking to each other in a Yoda voice. You know the scene.

this looks so fun! you come up with great birthday ideas. as for AZ, we weren't there for very long and didn't really plan on coming. dave's sister's twins died at 25 weeks gestation, so we came over for the funeral. we spent most of our time with dave's family. helped mom move 2 days and saw loni only once. So, to be honest, we didnt really see anyone. but dont worry, we are driving back on the 25th and will be there nearly a year lol

Whoa Lynnae! How are you going to top that next year?! I will never show Max these pictures, because I don't want him to know what he's missing out on because I could never pull that off! Looks like SO much fun - good work!
