Party fit for a Six Year Old

I do have to admit that Leyton's party took a bit longer to prepare then Maddie's party but, I'm beyond pleased on how it all turned out. He was soooo excited and every time he saw something new that was LEGO themed his smile got even bigger. He was so full of questions and loved to help me out with it.

Again, I took a lot of photos so I'll share more photos of the party itself. Here are the decorations and other details.



Paper LEGO's that hung from the light above the table. I saw this idea on Stephmodo's blog site. They were so simple but, one of my favorite decorations!



These hang'n LEGO guys I created. One said "Happy Birthday", "6" and the other two plain.


These guys have Bakerella to thank. For some reason the black and blue editable pens weren't working that great so they got cheerful faces of green and red.

I made the LEGO cake which was the hit! My son was so excited that he had to open the refrigerator to show everyone when they first got to the party. A lot of time, love and a battle went into that cake. But, in the end I was very pleased how it turned out. I got the idea off of the Betty Crocker site.

Blue, red and yellow were the three main colors I used. They just screamed LEGO's to me. Leyton even pointed out that when the table was set it looked like a giant LEGO. Too cute!

I made this pull pinata using a large shoebox. This was my first attempt of making one and it actually worked!!! I'm sure the boys would have loved one to hit but, since this was going to break open downstairs I was thinking "safety first".

And finally the gift favors. I found LEGO shaped candy at a local candy store - score! I bought blue lunch bags at Michael's Craft store and added a tag that had the children's names on it using the LEGO font I found here.
