Calling all Space Rangers!

Cody had a Buzz Lightyear party this year for his 3rd birthday. I tried to make it nice and simple and I think it turned out fun and just right . . .


Everybody got to decorate their own flying saucer with markers foam space stickers and then we went in the backyard to test them out. They actually flew really well. And thank goodness for the nice weather!
We also played a game where you had to destroy Emperor Zurg by knocking down all the cans. This was a big hit. We didn't even have to have prizes and everyone thought it was a blast!
Corbin helped me make the galaxy bottles ahead of time that everyone got to take home as their little "thanks for coming" gift. (If you can't tell, their kind of like lava lamp looking things with sparkles and stars inside.)

And of course we had to serve pizza . . .
Cody had a great time opening all his presents and giving all his friends hugs afterward.
Yummy cupcakes finished the party off perfectly. And we still had one happy birthday boy at the end of it all.

What a perfect little party!! I am so daunted by all the birthday parties people throw. I don't really do groups of kids so well (but you know that since we've talked about it a thousand times ... maybe I need to be called to the primary like you were and gain my skills!) Cody is so cute and so big! They grow up way too quickly!

Very cute. Cody looked like he had a great time. Hayden loved his Buzz party. He is already planning his party for next year!!!!

That was fun. Oliver had so much fun. Now every time we go anywhere he asks if its a party. I am too nervous to have a whole bunch of 3 year old kids running around, but I might attempt one this year.
