The Birthday Bash

Invite card created with Smilebox

So we had THE BEST time at Ethan's party! I was really nervous about how to entertain all these boys. And what I have learned about boys, less is better! So I did not go over board on planned activities, I just let the boys play! And they LOVED every minute of it. The only planned activity we had was Chris' obstacle course--which was a HUGE hit last year. So this year's course was somewhat more demanding--it kinda reminded me of a football practice. But the boys loved it and they loved competing against each other for the best time. Kyle Havey was the big winner completing the course is 64 seconds!!!

Here's Max and his best friend Ben Nygren (he got to come with his older brother--we LOVE the Nygren boys:)


Here's Kyle Havey and Matthew Tomlinson:

Obstacle course fun:




Here's the cake--it was a cookie cake because Ethan doesn't like real cake:) And it has "Mighty Beanz" on it because these are Ethan's latest obsession.


I could not believe how well-behaved all these boys were! They were seriously fantastic! They patiently sat around the table waiting for their food and unbelievably kind to Tatum. Check her out here amongst all the boys:
