Nick and Alex's 6th Birthday Party

Today was our friends Nick and Alex's 6th birthday party. The boys were super excited about the party, even though I didn't tell them until an hour before we left. Once we arrived, the kids headed upstairs to play for a while until it was time for games. This was a great opportunity for all the moms to meet each other. Then, we headed outside for the games to begin.



The first game was potato sack hop and the kids had a blast! I'm sure that this is the first time that some of these kids had played that game, at least I know that mine hadn't played it before but there were so many smiles on the kids faces. It was a great competition and Ledda even joined in on the fun since there weren't enough kids participating. Way to go Ledda!



Next, we headed inside and ate before the next game commenced. After everyone was finished, the kids played musical chairs and had so much fun. Danny came in first for the first game and then another cute little boy, I think his name was Xander, came in first for the second game. All the kids were happy because with all the games, Ledda handed out prizes just for participating. Great idea. When you got "out" in musical chairs, you got a tootsie roll/tootsie roll sucker... Austin wanted to play just to get the candy.



The next game was pin the tail on the donkey and it was so much fun. I got so many pictures because I got each kid that played. It really got the mood set as Ledda had the kids sing "Ring around the Rosies" as she turned each kid before they got to pin the tail on the donkey. Then, after that game, she put on the music and the kids had a dance party. I can't believe some of their moves at ages 4-6. They were breakdancing and cutting up... I was astonished and thought "Wow! They are all really good dancers!"



Finally, it was time for the cake. The kids got around the table and sang "Happy Birthday" to Nick and Alex but there were no candles on the cake. So, they got the chance to sing it again. Ledda gave each kid a huge piece of cake. We had to take ours to go because Kamal had an appointment (and we share a car) but it was delicious! Thank you Nick, Alex, Ledda and Roberto for a fabulous party. The kids had a great time and can't wait to do it again soon.
