Rocket Birthday Party

It all started 6 years ago with this little boy.  Our nephew, Jack, had a Rocket Birthday party and we were the recepients of his party decorations.  We have been telling Caleb for years that he would have a Rocket Party for his 5th birthday.  Here's Jack back in 2007.
and his cute decorations!
Now onto Caleb's big day! He picked out the design of the birthday cake at the grocery store.
Mimi and I decorated this fun rocket cake with colored flamed candles

Rockets in a Blanket
Meteorites (Donut Holes)
Fruit Rockets
The Fueling Station with Rocket Juice (Juice Boxes) and Milky Way (Chocolate Milk)
Love this huge rocket banner that Aunt Kris-10 painted 6 years ago.  Still looks great and was so fun!
Beautiful Carsen
The Boys-Caleb, Caleb, Jake, and Davis
Punkin' Case
Silly Charlie
Avery is ready-she did this the entire party
How many kids can fit in the "merry-go-round" thing
Love that I got a "group" picture out of it.
The Planets hanging around
The adults
Grace climbing high
"Happy Birthday Dear Caleb"
"Make a wish"
Mmmmm...good
Patient Boys 
Love this...Avery looks a little tired
Precious Sam
Pinata Time!!!!

Everyone got at least 3-4 hits and they were extremely entertained.  We brought in a few of the big kids and they barely made a dent in the fuselage.
Finally Craig tore open the hole and spread the candy around



If they didnt get enough sweets already we had to have Rocket Pops!


Aunt Jen's Rocket Packs that she gave the boys for Christmas last year were a HUGE hit.  

Griffin Man
Hadley and Boone
Avery joined the big kids

and so did Mimi
Daddy and Mr. Saugier had some crazy fun with a rocket and a rubberband.  The kids enjoyed watching it soar high into the air and then running to catch it.


Happy Birthday Sweet 5 Year Old!
"Hmmmm...I wonder who had a slice of cake with blue icing?"
Opening presents
His first Nerf Gun--Excitement is an understatement
Davis LOVED brother's new robot but poor Avery didn't  (this thing is very LOUD)
Silly Daddy
Too much fun and SO LOUD
I love how Avery picks up Davis' blanket for comfort from the noise

Belly Laughing at the toy
We had lunch with Mammy, MeDad, Mimi and Papa after church on Sunday and the boys shared a milkshake.
We had a BLAST Celebrating our sweet 5 year old!! It was so much fun and we were grateful to be surrounded by family and friends.  The park down the street from our house was perfect and we appreciate ALL the help from the grandparents that weekend.  Thank you everyone!!
