Reed's 6th Birthday Party

On Saturday, we went to Sky Zone to celebrate Reed's 6th Birthday.  His theme this year was Skylander Giants.  He was so excited about his party!  He had a good group of friends and family there, plus he had a surprise guest!  We were so surprised when we saw Landry (and Mary Elise, Brad & Reagan) walk in the door!  The kids played hard and had a blast!  

I had originally planned to just have cupcakes at the party, but Reed asked me to make him a cake, so I did.  I had to put my thinking cap on and come up with a cake that had something to do with Skylanders. I ended up making a Skylander Portal.  I bought a three pack of Skylanders that Reed really wanted and put it on his cake.  He was so surprised when he saw it!

Reed seeing his cake for the first time.

They both were excited to see Zap & Hot Dog on the cake.

Happy boys!

Most kids ate a cupcake and a piece of cake! The cake was completely gone!

Present time!

Doggie Doo! This game is slightly gross but hilarious.  The boys love it!

Can you see the excitement on his face?

Chase was super excited about this present because their was a new Iron Man & War Machine in there!

Checking out all the Skylanders in this 3 pack.

Reed was excited about having his own Light in the Night. He told Chase that he could have his back now!
