whobody had a FUN party?

Well...the day after Keaton's actual birthday, we had his friend birthday party. He invited 6 friends from Kindergarten to come and party with him. The party started when everyone got off the bus (it probably started on the bus...poor bus driver). First we had a snack of fruit....they only ate about TWICE as much as I thought they would: 1 pack of strawberries, a large bag of grapes, 2 apples, and 5 bananas. Cheers! (those girls remind me of their moms ;)
Then the kids went on a treasure hunt....it led them to every room in the house to finally find some prizes (bubbles and plastic bugs). While in Keaton's room they had a task of building a tower as tall as the birthday boy before they could read their next clue.

I noticed that the boys really weren't into this as much as the girls were. They were more interested in wrestling and tackling each other! Below is Keaton with his 'favorite' clue.

Here is a group picture of the kids with their tower!

We then played Duck, Duck, Goose. Luckily, no one even got hurt!

Then we had a heated game of ring toss.

Finally, for Keaton, we opened presents. I can't believe all of the great stuff he got! Nash very much enjoyed this part of the party.

Keaton instantly had to put on his new hat and sunglasses.

THEN...it was pizza time. I couldn't believe it, but everyone ate a TON. They all had at least one and a half pieces...not to mention the fruit an hour earlier, a yogurt, and later a huge piece of cake and 2 scoops of ice cream.

Keaton was kind of happy...

Time for some group photos!

Then we blew out the candles and had some CAKE and ICE CREAM.

Keaton couldn't have been happier !

We really had a good time and all of the kids were very well behaved. Things only got wild a few times, but I think everyone had a lot of fun. (All I could think was that this was only 1/3 of his class....Kindergarten teachers are amazing.) Happy Birthday Keaton!
