Bryson had his 1st friend party this year. I wanted to do something very simple, that wouldn't cost a lot of money, and wouldn't require much work from me. However, we ran into a slight snag. You see, Bryson decided to take it upon himself to invite his 2 friends to his party in front of his whole class. And to make matters worse, he apparently started the invitation by saying, "my mom told me to ask. . .". I was SO embarrassed when he told me (you see it's a school rule that if invitation are sent to school it has to be for the whole class). I also felt bad that the little girl he sits beside was sad that she wasn't invited. So I took a risk and we invited the whole class. So the whole gigantic process of preparing for a party began. I must admit though that I did have a lot of fun coming up with ideas, I just had hoped to not bring on this extra responsibility. For anyone who has little boys, the super hero theme was so easy to come up with ideas and decorate for!
The Batman logo was the thing that I decorated with. Our computer doesn't print color graphics for some reason so to get around this I print everything in black then on yellow paper to get color. This is the cake that I made and the gift bags. The Dollar Tree had so many super hero toys/candy that it was easy to create simple gift bags too!
Bryson blowing out his candles! He told me he had to use his super hero breath for the last candle! :)
** I MUST tell you what the hit of the party was- Super Hero Punch! This was terribly difficult to make- Kool-Aide and Pop Rocks. I poured a litttle bit of Pop Rocks into each of the kids cups. The whole room was popping and crackling. They thought it was GREAT! When they asked for refills, they all wanted the pop rocks in it too!
I made each of the kids a cape with their 1st initial on them
This is the nicest group of kids! They were so well behaved. I thought they would take like 10 minutes to eat, but they sat around the table for almost 30 minutes just eating and talking and having a good time. It was really cute!
Every party has to have some games!
Superman says (aka Simon says)
Batman, Batman, Joker (aka Duck, Duck, Goose)
We had around 30 balloons all over the floor and the kids thought these were great. They were great entertainment during the down times!
When Bryson opened his presents it was hysterical! The kids were all sitting down nicely and then they were like a swarm of bees as he went for the 1st present. This was the only picture I got before the swarm took over. :)

Looks like a very fun party! You are always so creative! It was probably a nice opportunity for Bryson to get to know some of his friends from school better, even if you didn't really want all of them to come to start out with. I do think it's hilarious that he invited his 2 friends in front of the whole class. Hopefully that won't happen next year!
