the birthday party

Athen wanted a superhero birthday party this year. I planned a few games to play in the back yard. I have fond memories of playing the spiderweb game for my 5th and 6th birthday parties. I thought it fit the Spiderman theme really well for Athen's superhero idea. John set it up. The prize was a superhero pez.

Asher loved climbing around the web! He's getting to be such a big boy...

We tried to play musical chairs, but the kids just wanted to dance!

After the dancing was done, we ate Batman birthday cake. Gamma sent a pull spiderman pinata that I filled with bouncy balls and bubble gum. Each child got a superhero pin back button too. It was a pretty successful party. No melt downs. Only 1 broken toy. The weather was perfect, which completely made up for last year...hurray!!! (I'm so glad it's over...!)
