Cade's Birthday Party

One of the frustrations of my life is....camera batteries! Ugh! It seems like I always run out of battery at the worst time...so I have few pictures of Cade's birthday, but it was fun. The party was originally supposed to be outside, but with the snow storm we had this week, we had to change our plans. We ended up just playing a bunch of games inside and the kids really enjoyed that!

We began the party by having a relay race. The kids had to put balloons in between their knees and jump or walk to the other side of the room. It was very entertaining to watch!

Then we got the kids sugared up...through a donut eating contest. They weren't allowed to use their hands and we had kids with donut glaze in their hair, on the back of their heads and of course, all over their face.



























After cleaning up the donut mess, we had a bean bag toss and a pinata.















Here are the kids waiting to fill their empty bags.















Cole & Cade taking a whack!



























Everyone got a whack at the pinata, and because we went smallest to biggest, we made it all the through one round before it got smashed apart and the candy went flying!














The kids ended up playing Wii and arcade games and then we fed them "real" food (pizza). We ended up skipping the cake & ice cream, since they had bags full of candy from the pinata!

All in all, the party was a hit!
