doing the birthday LEGO style

My middle child, Cameron, turned 7 yesterday.  I can't even believe it as I type it, but alas, 7 birthdays have come and gone.  We planned a fun Lego-themed party for him on Saturday.

We started out with a fun party dance CD that Dan and I put together (you know, with some fun "I Like to Move it, Move it" and "Who Let the Dogs Out?" action on it) and let the kids loose on a room full of legos.  For the first half hour, they build and blasted, created and crushed, developed and destroyed their lego creations.

   

Then it was time for the pinata.  Note to self:  do not buy the $13 pinata from the Wal-Marts.  This was the crappiest pinata in existence.  We had to tape up the bottom third of it cuz all the candy kept pouring out.  Kids didn't care.  They just wanted a turn to "smack that."  (Sorry, been listening to a little too much hip-hop lately)

        

(There were no lego pinatas.  Go figure)

Onto the presents.

 

Where he got legos, more legos, and money for even more legos.

Next up, cake.

 

Now personally, I think I've done better on past cakes.  But Cameron luh-hoved this cake.  So my job there was done.

 

Typical Cameron.

And that's how we do it!  Birthday party, lego-style.  Thanks to everyone who came, helped, dropped off and picked up kids, and brought presents.  Cameron was one happy boy.  =)

May the force be with you.  (my kids love playing with my camera.  I have about 4 dozen pictures of my kitchen chairs on there at present.  Whatchoogonnado, right?)
