Love, Life, and Lessons with the Kinzenbaws: Ev's Bday Party

We went small with Ev's party this year as we just been with both sides of the family on vacation and he really wanted to have some quality time with just his little buddies! It was so much fun. I feel so blessed that my little man has some great friends. Some couldn't come and some live too far away (Isaac!) but it was a good group. The crew was Evan, Alea, Conner, Kate, and Solon. The parents dropped them off so we could do pizza and games, and came back later for ice cream/cake.
After the parents left, we got busy having the kids make their own mini-pizza. It was so fun for the kids and I loved watching them stand around their little table perfecting their pie. Next up was Knock over the Villain game. I taped pictures of villains to 2 liter pop bottles and the kids had three tries with a tennis ball to knock over a villain. We had some superheroes with good arms! After that we played a Kryptonite relay race, where they had to balance "kryptonite" on a spoon and race to get rid of it. You can't touch kryptonite after all because you will lose your power! None of the kids wanted that.
The pizzas were done by then so we went and ate. The kids devoured them (except Solon, he was too excited!) and also enjoyed fruit chillers and juice boxes (a rare treat at our house). The kids played for a while and the parents returned. Ev got to open his gifts-2 different Lego sets, Hulk smash gloves, and Spiderman pajamas! He and daddy have already put together one of the Lego sets and gotten pretty nasty with the Hulk gloves. I stay out of that! :) We had yummy chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and sprinkles with vanilla ice cream to finish the night. Oh, and we had the kids watch some Mater's Tall Tales to wind down (and so the parents could chat!) Thanks to everyone who came and made his night so special!

Hope you enjoy these pictures and peek into the party! Can't believe my little man is 4. And actually I can't believe I am old enough to have a 4 year old!
