Ninja Birthday Party

It's only fitting that the year of the Ninja ended with a Ninja birthday party for Tavish and his friends. And the geek in me loves that the date of his party was 12/13/14.

Let the ninja training commence!



Even the little guy wanted to be a ninja! Which is not surprising, he watches most of Tavish's Tae Kwon Do classes and at home will hold on to a piece of furniture to balance himself and kick out his little leg and yell "hi-ya!"


Master Rhee taught these ninjas how to punch, kick and block.



They got to break boards.


Even the little guy!


Pizza and cupcakes when ninja training was done. And goody bags which were ever-so-distracting. The ninja-shaped lollipops were much more popular than the cupcakes I slaved over!

Six

I'm not really sure how this boy turned six already but he went and did it anyway. Whoever said the days are long but the years are short sure was right. Here's how Tavish's day started...


Fizbee the elf brought reindeer donuts for breakfast...Tavish doesn't look excited but it's more like he was soooo excited he got up too early and now he's really tired :) He did muster the energy to eat almost the entire plate of donuts himself.




Mom brought a Happy Meal and had lunch with Tavish at school. Tavish was very distracted by his crown which he wore all day and his classmates were distracted by the cupcakes I brought for their snack later.



The four of us went to Chuck E. Cheese for dinner and games...Tavish loves to play the games and I can only stand to go there on a weeknight when hardly anyone else is there. Then we had frozen yogurt with what looks like a pickle but is really a gummy worm.



Here Tavish is contemplating heavily the gift from Grandpa Wally and Grandma Marsha. As he put it "this is how a present is supposed to look!"  Apparently my present wrapping was lacking in his opinion this year.



Unwrapping is serious business, thank goodness little brother was here to help.



I think he liked it??!! 



Opening the gift from mom and dad, I dare not show the shoddy wrap job. But at least what was inside was totally acceptable...the much-coveted Gup-X!

Decking the halls...





More like decking the boy...Tavish was excited because the boys got to decorate their own tree in the dining room with colorful lights and decorations instead of the white lights and boring (silver and white) decorations that mom likes to have on the tree in the living room. And where was Paxton??? Napping...because he's more of an expert at undecorating.
