Ninja's Unite!!!!!

It is the weirdest thing ever to have a child that is 8 years old, I mean, that is old!

To celebrate Porter's 8th birthday he asked for a Ninjago party. He asks, and I will deliver. I had my friend make me this amazing invite! She did such a great job!

To start the party off we went to the basement where I had hid a bunch of Porter's Lego figures all over the room. That was a little crazy but very fun for the boys.

Here the boys (and Carlee) are after finding all of the figures and they each got Ninja headbands.

After more craziness we decided to get down to business and have some pizza. I saw on some one's blog how to make yellow plates look like Lego heads.

It was so easy and literally took 5 min and the boys all thought it was cool!

Getting ready to start one of the games Andy made up. It was the coolest games. He took apart two Ninjago figures and put all of the pieces in balloons. So there were two sets of balloons, one per team, and the teams had to take turns popping their balloons, and put their Ninjago figure back together. Whoever got their figure back together first, won! The boys loved it!

Then we had a little present action.

Then it was time for cake. I loved giving Porter this sweet Ninjago alarm clock, he had no idea he was going to get that and it made a great cake topper!

Porter checking out the back of the clock, he thought it was cool that it had an alarm.

This was Marin during the party, just chillin' on the floor with her cake and a juice box.

Our last game was trying to create our own Lego creation. Each kids got a present of Lego's and then Andy timed them to add it to the previous person's creation as fast as they could. I was surprised at how into this they were.

All the boys with our final creation!

Overall the party was great. I am so grateful that Andy was here, the boys were so loud, my voice just wasn't cutting it. I loved seeing Porter in his element with all of the boys. The phrase "BOYS WILL BE BOYS" is so true, they are so different than girls.

Porter, I just want you to know how much I love you. You are such a wonderful person, you are so sweet to your sisters, you have a tender heart and it shows in all that you do. I love that you are figuring out who you are, I love that you love basketball, football, and soccer. I love that you are always willing to try new things and that you just make the best of every situation. You are a great example to everyone around you. Happy Birthday bud, and of course, KARATE CHOP!!!!!!!!!!!!
