Happy 7th Birthday Cody!

This little guy wanted to have cereal, hot chocolate and egg nog for his birthday breakfast and he wanted to have it served to him in bed.  :)  He was so excited, he hardly ate any of his food or drinks.  He was student of the week in his class this week too, so he got to share things all about him for the week.  On day one he took a poster of pictures that we made all about him.  Tuesday he got to share his favorite toy...he chose to share a Pokemon stuffie.  On Wednesday, he got to have lunch with someone special...Auntie K and I went and had lunch with him in his cafeteria.  I had brought him a Subway sandwich, but he decided he wanted to "buy" lunch.  So he had a waffle, sausage patties and strawberries.  On Thursday he got to share and on Friday, he shared his favorite book-- a Goosebumps story.

 We put together a last minute birthday party and invited a few of his friends over for a BBQ dinner.  Cody told us he wanted a fidget cube and fidget spinner for his birthday.  That became his theme for his birthday.  I found a fidget Spinner cake idea online with some cupcakes.  Mike got these cool pop bottle labels.    "Bats Brew", "Zombie Tonic," "Spider Cider" and "Bone Juice".


 We got a SPIDER pinata and filled it with candy.  We had pin the tail on the donkey, and I found a great idea online on how to make fidget spinners with Origami paper made into ninja stars.  So we had a little craft table the the boys could make their own ninja start fidget spinners to take home.   I need to take a picture of the origami fidget spinners.  They turned out really cool.  Some of the boys only wanted the ninja stars.  :)  I also scored some $2.00 fidget spinners to give to all the kiddos who came over.  The theme came together nicely.
 We had seven boys over.. Liam, Lawson, Cameron, Luke, Wesley, Nathan and Roark.
 Here's our BBQer...love him!  We served Macaroni and Cheese with Hot dogs, Chicken burgers or hamburgers.  Everyone had something they liked.


 We played the "How many balloons can you pick up in 15 seconds"  Always a crowd pleaser.  Decker pulled his pants up for this one.  :)
 Then it was time for the pinata.  Everyone got a chance to kick and punch it!

 We sang happy birthday!  He wanted a chocolate cake with Vanilla frosting.  I also made some yellow cupcakes with chocolate frosting.



 The fidget spinner cake is on lazy susan and actually spins.  ;)
 Little Esther  enjoyed a cupcake too.
 Roark and Decker hanging out!

 When I had lunch with Cody, he wanted Decker to eat with us too, but we didn't get the permission needed soon enough to arrange it.  Cody and Decker's lunch and recess are opposite times, so after Cody's lunch, he always goes and hugs Decker who is waiting in line to go to his lunch.  These boys are so sweet!

 Happy Birthday to this sweet boy!  It was a success!
