The Lego Maniac's Birthday Party

Ethan is now 10, every time one of my kiddos has a birthday, I think, how did this happen, another year, already?  He's growing up, he has such a great personality, so smart and I love his sweet tender heart.  He is so crazy about Legos, he is constantly building these amazing and creative creations that he just comes up with, I'm so impressed by his creativity! 

With his love of all things Lego, I knew I had to do a Lego party for him this year. I did a lot of Pinterest searching for Lego party ideas.  Everything turned out pretty much like I wanted and I think that everyone had a great time.   I kept the activities pretty simple because I figured on them wanting to just run and play.

They colored pictures of Legos, I spray-painted baby food jars yellow to look like Lego heads and everyone then drew their own faces on them.

They also played "Guess How Many Legos" that were in a jar and then I had also cut out yellow Lego men (kind of like a ginger bread man) and they searched the house for them.

For the gift bags I made small coloring books and threw in a couple of pieces of candy.  The thank you notes matched the invitations that I made in Picasso.  I really liked how they came out.  I just ordered them from Walgreens, super simple!

I kept the decorations pretty simple also, but I think they packed the punch I was looking for.

The plates and juice boxes were two of my favorite things, the plates were Ethan's favorite too, I think.  One of my favorite finds was the green bubble wrap!  It looked like Lego base plates!

So, here is the part that didn't quite turn out right.  The cake, I didn't want the taste to be weird because of food coloring, so I opted to make a white Lego, I had some trial and error with frosting Oreos, so I just left them alone, and I think it looked more dice than Lego.  It tasted AMAZING though!  And I just love this picture of Ethan, it reminds me of what he looked like when he was little, so sweet.

It was a nice group of boys that came to his party, all had very good manners and were very polite.

 But they were boys, and they had to run and they did!
