I have an almost six year old!
How can that be?
Sam's big birthday isn't actually until the 26th, but we had a crazy Lego party this weekend to celebrate with his buddies. It was so fun! I really think that 5 and 6 year olds are at just the right ages for birthday parties. They love ALL games, they can actually follow the rules, and they get excited about anything and everything. Perfect!
Sam is a Lego fanatic these days, so a Lego party it was...
Thanks to my crafty sis, Kelsey, I was able to make my boys some cute Lego shirts to wear for the party. Max loved his shirt, until just before the party started. He then decided that his batman costume was more appropriate. So there you go...
Sam and Max helped with a little Lego decorating...
Pin the head on the Lego man was a huge success! I was so surprised how much the boys loved this game. They took the job of decorating their Lego heads very seriously.
Our very homemade Lego pinata.
We sent the boys on a little treasure hunt. This was a huge hit. Huge! All of these little party goers were so excited to show off their reading skills and took turns reading the clues to each other.
Their treasure?
Mini Lego ships, of course!
This was the best activity of the party. The boys all SAT QUIETLY for at least 20 MINUTES and worked on putting their ships together. They were pretty independent for the most part. It was awesome.
Here are the Lego party goers!
(minus Max...who was in the other room trying to understand why no one brought presents for him!)
Sam felt so loved and had a great time at his party. I feel so lucky that he has such fun, great friends!
Sam loves his friends. He talks about them constantly, worries about them, and has told me on several occassions that he wishes his friends could be his brothers too.
Happy (almost) 6th birthday, to my favorite Sam ever.

Love it! Sooo creative! But I am totally biased to the last picture, I think its the best! I love that Sam and Brandon are such good friends. He's a great kid.
Things turned out so cute Linds! The cupcakes, decorations, shirts, games and especially the piñata! It looks like it was so much fun. Happy birthday Sam-o!
What a fun party idea! Sam looked so happy that day and what a great young man you guys are raising to care so much about his friends. I'm starting to think of ideas for Grace's first birthday - any suggestions for a Minnie Mouse theme? Too bad we don't live closer, I'd totally hire you :).
poor max :) i love every bit of the party !! happy birthday sammo! Zeb has been begging for 'real' legos for awhile now- but they are the exact size of metta's windpipe and she is full on scooting around and eating everything in sight mode!! does jake eat them?! I'm no good at cleaning so I think we'd have some major problems here!!!!
Super cute party! Quick question for you, could you of sent Sam to kindergarten last year, if so, why did you hold him back, I am seriously on the fence about letting my Cohen go next week! I just feel like he is SO young!
Your parties are mind-boggling Lindsay. If I ever work up enough creativity and bravery to plan a birthday party for my kids, I'd do one like yours. I can't decide which party has been my favorite: whales, Wild Kratts, Legos...you have the touch of gold. His face shows pure delight...looks like you did your job well! :)
