Adam is Six... and 1/4 now

I didn't want to buy our new house on Adam's sixth birthday, so we set a closing date instead of June 22nd- Adam's original due date and the date we bought our first house. Except Adam's birthday still fell on the Friday after we bought our new house, which meant we were moving. Oh well.

We decorated his door and then Grandma and grandpa came to town to help celebrate and move us. So we went with them to the driving range together and then out to the ever constant birthday mainstay of Buffalo Wild Wings Friday night on his actual birthday.

 

My parents came out on Saturday to celebrate and we had cake with 6 candles.

Adam really wanted to have his birthday party in our new house, so we waited until July to invite his friends over for a ninja birthday party. It was wild but fun. Next year I decided the theme will be color crayons and coloring books to have a more low key party (Adam doesn't think that's funny).

We usually hold Adam's birthday mid week since weekends most people are out of town in the summer. So we had everyone over after daycare for supper. We had "sashimi" melon chunks and Swedish fish rice krispies, turkey and ham "sushi" rolls, fresh veggies and of course Adam's favorite pizza and cupcakes.

Each boy had a ninja headband with their name on it. They also had a decorate your ninja noodle staff with decorative tape from 3M of course!

 

There was a bad guy piñata that needed to be defeated.

 

 

 

 

 

Thankfully Adam's Godparents came to help manage the crazy kids and they brought water ballons for the kids to play with. The last ninja training activity before the party was over and parents came to pick up their kids.





 

 

 It was a fun party, but I'm a little exhausted just writing about it again. Drop off parties with 7 invited boys invited plus my 3 boys is a lot. Like I said I'm pushing a coloring themed seventh birthday party. We'll see!
