Party Time!

Birthday morning:

We bought him this remote control car and after reading the instructions took it back! You were supposed to charge it for 8 hrs the first two times, and then the battery would last for 15 mins and you would have to charge it for 4 hrs again! The battery-operated one we bought later that day is way better!

Legos from Papa and Grandma! At first these legos caused him anxiety (the people had to look EXACTLY like the ones on the box) but now he is playing with them so well! 

Poor Bear. He wanted to open some gifts!

 My cute boys:

 Oh wait, that was the wrong pic. This one is better:

PARTY TIME
Kyle used to say he wanted another Toy Story party which I was fine with. Then he changed his  mind and wanted, "Mario Kart Wii party." Unfortunately stores don't sell those decorations, and I didn't want to spend a bunch of money online so we had to act like I like being crafty. All for the love of my 4 year old :).

Nolan and Sam manned the waters and Capri Suns. I think we lost count of how many they drank.

I asked my SIL Candace to draw a Mario for, "Pin the Mustache on Mario," and I was literally shocked when I saw how good it was. Not that I ever doubted her artistic ability, but look at this thing! It's sooo cute!

 

Thank you C-bug!!

 Cupcake time. This is probably the most important thing to Kyle. He loves blowing out those candles!

 Cute Taylor:

 Mo-town!

 So happy Reed came in a red shirt or he would have gone home in a red shirt regardless! :)

 Brennan, Tim, Roger, Carol, and Pete. Missed Andy and Matt!

Present Time!

 I loved the kids all huddled around to see what he got!

Pinata time!

Now, I could have paid $17 to get a Mario pinata from a lady off Craigslist, but when I came across this reindeer on clearance for less than $7 I couldn't pass it up. Kids don't care what they hit!
 Kyle grew to love this reindeer the week before his birthday. It slept next to his bed at night and was dragged around the house. Kyle told me he wouldn't cry when it got broken though. It was fun having an inanimate pet.

 Thank you Pete. Kyle's turn!

I guess most of our guests had been taught not to hit things because it took awhile for any action to go on. Luckily some of the older cousins helped break this thing open!

Grammy and MyPa:

Our little fam. So grateful that Kyle is a part of it. We love you Special K, Kyle Grunty, Kyle Boy!!

Thank you everyone for the gifts, phone calls, coming to the party, etc. Kyle asked his Unkie something like, "Why is everyone keep calling me?" :) I wish we could have had all of our family and friends together but am grateful for the fun we had! Kyle sure felt special!
