Weston has been talking about what kind of birthday he wanted since last year. So, although I am 8 months prego and really wanted to do something simple, I thought I'd go ahead and give him a party to remember. I decided to combine both boys' parties together so I wouldn't have to plan two within a month.
It turned out to be AWESOME and the boys both LOVED it!!
They wanted a Ninja Turtle theme, which would have been easy to find 2 years ago...but not so much anymore. So we did a bunch of homemade stuff and I must say-- it turned out pretty darn fabulous. I sure love these guys!!
Shar did a fantastic job on the invite:
I just decorated everything in dark and light green. Easy peasy and not too expensive!!
The boys were THRILLED when they saw the action figures on their cakes. (and I was SO lucky to score these bad boys after searching everywhere!!!)
The boys right before all their friends arrived, they LOVED turning into Ninja Turtles!!
Turtle costumes: oval plates painted green, with fabric head ties. The kiddos had to climb through the sewer (a collapsible tunnel) and touch some green goo to turn into turtles.
Party-ers and games:
We played Pin the Mask on Leonardo, colored a picture of their favorite turtle, and Musical Pizzas. Then of course we had pizza (the turtles favorite food) and cake.
Blowing out the candles.
(I think technically they each blew them out at least twice, keeping me busy with matches during the song. haha)
Opening gifts:
We sure had an awesome time!
After the party, the fam stuck around to hang out and visit. We had to catch a picture of the kiddos all together before 2 more are added to the crew next month!
And of course us girls had to show our turtle power as well!!
When everyone took off, Jeff and I sat back to watch the boys have fun with their new stuff.
They LOVED everything and have been so good playing together.
I love this shot of my sweet guys!
Happy Birthday Boys, we sure love you!
