Birthdays

We celebrated Truett's 7th birthday a couple of weeks early with a SURPRISE party!  It was lots of fun!  He read a book a month or so ago about Bigfoot and decided that's the party he wanted.

 

If this video works, this is Truett's reaction.  I love his sweet smile when he figures it out, then he turns "too cool."
 
We had a little scavenger hunt for the kids to find traces of Bigfoot.


 Everyone had their own personalized hunt bag.


 We knocked over Bigfoot with snowballs.


We cut big feet out of cardboard and had some Bigfoot races.

 Then the big feet turned into shields.


 Then we added eggs, just to make it interesting.





 Opening presents.

 You know those fun trick candles that keep lighting back up?  Yep, we used those!

Truett's classmates wished him a happy birthday, too.
 

Now rewind about 8 months and we'll get Paisley's 5th birthday party.  Frozen theme, of course!
Thanks, Aunt TayTay and Uncle Ben for letting us have it at your house.
