Party like a Ninja!

And it's birthday season!
Our birthdays seem to last longer than just a single day of celebrating!
Dillan wanted a Ninjago birthday party this year. We decided to try out Sky High. It was awesome. Honestly, a blurry whirlwind for mama, after weeks of preparations and planning, but totally worth it. I've decided sticking with party themes means so much for the kids, and one day they are not going to want a party theme, so I'll get into it now as much as possible.
Thanks to my computer and printer, I was able to make invitations, stickers, water bottle labels, ninja eyes for the balloons, and details for the goodie boxes. Thanks to my very talented dad, Dillan had the best birthday cake ever, Kai shaped! Thanks again Papa!

























Dillan invited every boy in his class from school + some extras. Some of those boys had little sisters, which was perfect for Leah.
The jumping room was crazy fun. Sweaty boys all over the place, parents right and left, trying to speak to everyone, meeting some for the first time. Out of control. Then we went to the party room, and thankfully had a very helpful hostess who took care of everything. Cake, presents, then goody bags handed out like a flash, saying our goodbyes and thank yous and BOOM! It's over!
Many of the boys didn't want to leave and wanted to go back to playing, but couldn't.
My head is still spinning.
I was very proud of Dillan, however. He was gracious to all his guests and played with everyone so they weren't left out. He's growing up too fast!
