Elijah's cousins and Uncle drove up from San Diego to surprise him. He says it was his best present.
The partiers arrived at 4pm and played outside.
They enjoyed the extent of my party decorations. This was the balloons I had brought to Elijah at school the day before and dragging on the bottom is his party hat from school.
(Hope my crafty, party, friends don't die right now. And yes, there is a Christmas plant on the porch and wreath on the door. Just haven't gotten around to taken that down yet. Do you think any of those seven-year-olds noticed? Not one.)
They played video games.
They ate In-N-Out Burger.
They played more video games.
They ate cupcakes that I made. I used Mel's recipe and I ate more than one.
They all finally fell asleep by 11pm.
One kid woke up at 6:30am . . . and so followed the rest.They had a pancake breakfast.
My mother-in-law made these cookies for a party favor.
They went home at 10am.
Elijah loved it. He said it was his best party yet. He says that every year. Must be the decorations.

I LOVE the decorations! I didn't know you were a minimalist! That's in, in the blogging world you know! LOL. It looked like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeletemy boys had so much fun! i would say i wish i could have been there, but that would not be true.
ReplyDeleteAnnett,
ReplyDeleteA minimalist - that is a nice way of putting it :)
Kate,
It was fun. We missed you.
Dueling TV's for the video games... you are the mom we all aspire to be. Its all about the kids, not the party hats! Love it!
ReplyDeleteStarr Family,
ReplyDeleteThey were in heaven. We borrowed an extra tv (we have one and used a computer monitor) and a wii.
I love it! My son is almost 4 and I CANNOT wait for the parties where the parents just drop them off...it almost seems easier that way! In N Out is ALWAYS a hit. Love, love, love the PacMan cookies, too! ;-)
ReplyDeleteAmy, Yes drop off parties are easier.
