Lego Birthday!

My sweet boy turned five today!  We've pretty much been planning his party since this time last year.  I have a little too much fun with these things!

It started with a mold that we got at the Lego store for $8.  Way overpriced but I still had to have it.  You can understand, right?

With it we made dyed white chocolate Lego men for decorating the birthday treats.

And, of course, we had to have these block candies too.

Isaac's treat of choice is still Rice Krispie Treats.  
21 squares ready to go to Kindergarten this morning.

Isaac spent the last month rebuilding all his big Lego sets to decorate his party.

He also got creative and made his own name.


Finally, the Lego fun can begin.





The first organized activity we did was to have each child make a Lego man.


Then they each created a car for their man to ride on.
(Sully kept making funny faces.  He cracks me up!)

Finally, they got to race their cars down the ramp.



Then, "Happy Birthday to You..."


The kids decorated their Krispie Treats with the Lego men and candies.


Finished product...five Lego men for his fifth birthday.


Mmmmm...


Racing rockets with his best buddies.


Time for presents.


And a few big hugs.


Thanks to all the friends who helped us celebrate our five year old!


Now, who's going to clean up this mess?!


We are so proud of Isaac for his imagination and creativity, his love of learning about EVERYTHING, and, of course, his knack with Legos.  We are without words to express how thankful we are that God gifted us with this particular child.  What an amazing gift!

Those lego men turned out great...worth the $8 (especially if it's not mine!). What a fun idea for a party...and I love the way you made lego-building into a structured activity and game. So clever! Isaac looks like he had a blast!!
