Isak turned 5 last week and we had a birthday party for him the Friday before with some of his friends. Since our house is in remodel mode, it was a pretty simple party. But since Isak is only 5, he thought it was the best thing ever. He wanted a robot cake, which we made together. It was pretty easy, other than the fact that we have no kitchen so I had to pull the oven over, plug it in, mix up the cake on my kitchen aid on the chair, then decorate it on top of the chest freezer. Still not too bad and Isak loved the cake. We did twinkies for the arms and lollipops for the ears and top. Then decorated with candy. Really, whats not too like?
For his party we had everyone make these goggles when they first got there. Isak wore his throughout the party as did Lucy.
Then we had three legged races and played red light/green light.
I found this awesome transformer pinata on clearance at |Wal-Mart several months ago and have kept it tucked away in anticipation of Isak's party. It was pretty tough to break and in the end I took a bat to it and finally broke it open. Lesson learned, I should have pre-made treat bags with equal parts candy so not one kid takes all the pinata stuff and someone else finds like 2 candy bars. They all ended up pretty happy but it was crazy for a while.
Isak opened a few presents and he was very excited about all of them.
The kids played on the trampoline for a while before it was time to go. Only a little over an hour, 10 kids and several juice boxes later we were done and Isak thought it was the best party ever. Lets hope he's always so easy to please! I love that at this age they are still so excited about the littlest things
We also had a family party for Isak with his grandparents closer to his birthday and he got a new scooter, a transformer toy, and a water/sand table for the outside.
