Spencer's 5th Birthday Party

Yesterday was Spencer's birthday so we had a little party for him. He invited 4 friends from church. Two showed up, so with them and his brothers, it was a nice number of kids. He chose to have a Scooby Doo party.

Here is a Scooby Doo toss game that I found on
clearance for $5. The boys all loved it!


We had a clown show up which was a lot of fun.



It's hard to see, but his cake has a Scooby Doo
candle on it.



Opening presents


Trying out one of the presents. It's a plane
that shoots into the air when you jump on the
base. It only ended up in the trees once during
the party!


The pinata. Spencer decided that he just wanted
to pull the strings on this one instead of hitting it.
I basically had to pull the little door open after the
kids pulled the strings off, but that worked just fine
for them and I still have a perfectly usable pinata
sitting in my storage closet just waiting for another
party!

She did a really good job! Alea, our mother's helper
was the clown. She didn't want the boys to know
it was her, so she didn't say a word throughout the
entire party. It worked out great and the boys
loved having a clown at the party!


Annalise was awake through most of the party
and just quietly sat in her chair happy as could
be. She is such a good baby!




I can't believe Spencer is 5 and will be starting kindergarten this year. Although he was born in Scottsdale, he was our first baby born while we were living here in Queen Creek. He came just 3 months after the move. He is such a wonderful little boy who continues to crack us up with his facial expressions and the quiet little funny things he says and does. We love you Spencer!
