Jonathan's Transformer Birthday







Jonathan got a new bike for his birthday & an alien maker. He was pretty excited! The bike did not have training wheels at first - but after trying for a whole day we tracked some down for him. Now he can do it by himself. I can't believe he is already 5! It will be even crazier when he starts Kindergarten.


Jonathan wanted a transformer party and cake. This is what I came up with. It is not as dramatic as I had hoped because they were all out of black frosting at the store and it took a lot more food coloring than I had thought to make the frosting darker. Jonathan loved it though and that's all that mattered! It was devoured in a matter of minutes - is all that work worth it??? I think so.


For the party, we had a bunch of friends and played transformer bingo and transformer hide and seek. It got a little crazy at times - but the kids had a blast! I am looking forward to having our basement finished so we have more room for large groups such as this . . . hopefully soon!

This was so fun. Thanks for sharing your pictures. J.J. really liked his transformer bingo sheet and got really upset when Ryan drew on it!
