Minion Mayhem

For Jimmy’s birthday, we did a Spiderman/Despicable Me/Mama-was-too-disorganized-to-pick-a-coherent-theme, and it was so much fun!  Here’s the extent of my decorating:

Paper masks provided all the fun and games we needed!

Well, masks and a minion:

How many men does it take to hang a minion?

The kids were all enthusiastic minion-manglers:

Jimmy and the cute Costco cake he’s been pining for all year:

And since it didn’t even cross my mind to buy candles, we improvised.  It was a very sparkly event!

And the gifts! Oh, the gifts!  Both sets of grandparents were very generous, so Jimmy was awash in more toys than you could shake a stick at.  Or shake a brother at:

Including his very own “big boy bike” that he proceeded to expertly pedal around the house for the remainder of the evening:

We all had a great time, especially the girls, since some of their favorite people were there!

Hooray for celebrations filled with bright balloons, great friends, and kids who are growing up too fast!
