And just like that my first little babies started the first grade and turned 7 years old!!
Their LEGO party theme was a blast to plan for. And fairly easy considering we already had so many Legos. And with using primary colors in the theme, that makes it so much easier to shop for and use items you just have around. Classic and fun!
That's typically what I do, try to plan a theme around things we already have and can use. Convenient and inexpensive! :)
We celebrated their birthday at my parent's farm in early September. It was a beautiful day to be outside!
Big 7 year olds on their birthday party day:
The twins designed their own Lego creations to go on the cake!
Easy peezy!
I had purchased Lego plates, napkins, and banner on clearance at Walmart the year before knowing we would someday do a Lego themed party! What a deal! :)
We borrowed mega blocks from a friend to use so we could build a creation for the display table. Here's the cake "stand" Elijah made:
And the utensil holder Will created:
Guess how many Legos are in the jar! Always a fun and easy game. Forgot a prize though so gave out 4 one dollar bills instead. ;)
Purchased yellow cups and drew on Lego faces! Fun fun!
And of course party hats!
We had this Lego table the bigger kids could create on:
And mega blocks for the babies:
Already have books with your theme? Create an easy reading nook!
Printed these sheets so everyone could create their own Lego person:
Made up a Lego memory face game:
I'm a sucker for creating signs on a computer program and printing like crazy:
Happy 7th Birthday, Elijah!!
Happy 7th Birthday, Will!!
The twins share a birthday with my dad so we made him blow out a candle as well.
He was super thrilled about it. HA! ;)
And Uncle Barry's Birthday in September too:
Opening gifts: Go Vikes!
Then later in the month, the boys had a friend birthday party!
We let the kids run around crazy in the yard! :)
And I was quickly reminded why I am not an elementary school teacher.
I don't have enough patience. ;)
Invitations:
The only problem was it was CRAZY WINDY so things kept flying all over the place!
Just did cupcakes for this party and since I have no cake making abilities,
it worked well to simply put a Lego on top. Pretty cute!
Party loot bags for this party:
Creating area:
Reading nook:
Thankful for great friends and cousins for the boys:
Making the same face as the Lego person cups they used! ;)
Cake and ice cream time:
Lego people they created: It was seriously so windy they didn't have to hold these up,
they just stuck to their faces. :) :)
What great parties! :)
