Corban's Birthday Party 8-29-09


Corban's friends helped him celebrate his birthday on Saturday. This year his party theme was "A Hunting Party"
Heather, the boys and myself started out by taking Corban to Cabela's to find party ideas and accessories! His invitations were postcards from Cabela's with bear, elk and deer on them. Heather put the party information on the back and they turned out really cute.
Next, we found camouflaged plates, cups, & napkins. Did you know that Cabela's also has camo wrapped chocolates as well as camo wrapped big chocolate candy bars? We got these to put in the kids treat bags and little camping glow sticks. Heather also found some animal tatoos and added them to the bags too. Next, I got online and discovered that you can order a deer pinata and mylar deer balloons so we got those as well.
For games we played pin the "antlers on the deer" (which each kid won playdough) and we went on a "bear hunt". A bear had stolen the treat bags and left clues along with bear tracks all around the yard for the kids to follow. Once they found their treat bags they did the pinata which filled the kids and their bags up with more candy!!! If that wasn't enough sugar they had cake and icecream bars but....... (like this but really helps) Heather had pizza & pop to balance out the sugar rush!!
In the end Corban had a great party and his friends all seemed so excited when they left with their bellies and their bags full of SUGAR!!!!
