Cade's Transformer BD Party

Cade decided on a Transformer theme party this year for his 5th BD.  I can't imagine how my "baby" is now 5 years, but I will save that crying for his actual BD blog post.  We started the party day with opening a present from Nana/Papa, which was a Skylanders Wii game.  Cade could not have been more excited and it was fun to have Nana/Papa on the phone listening while he opened his present.  It didn't take long before everyone was on the couch and the competition had began!  After lunch, we headed out to start the party.  Months ago, when we thought about where would be the best place to host 15 kids, we quickly decided it was DEFINITELY NOT our house this year.  So, we decided on Bouncin' Bears which is a bounce place where they could run and play on lots of equipment and blow up houses/obstacles.  It worked out really good with our own party room (although the AC was not working and we almost all sweat to death).  The kids played for about an hour and then we enjoyed cake/ice cream.  Gamee of course made an incredible cake that even had light up eyes.  Cade was mesmerized at first and then grabbed his friends hands and brought them to come see it.  I know I say it every time, but Gamee is so talented with her cakes and I am honored by the time and love in each cake!  After cake, we opened presents and then played some more.  Cade got a variety of cool presents including (I like to list them so when the kids read this in 20 years they can get a good laugh at the toys they loved!): Skylanders Wii Game with Portal and Batman Lego Set (Nana & Papa), Chima Legos with mat/Transformers bolts/Games (Gamee/Grampee), iTunes giftcard (Mackenzie and Jax), Skylanders figures/Transformers/Dr. Seuss book (Stephen), remote control helicopter (Daniel), Transformers (Luke/Logan), Construct Bolts Transformers (Holly), Ninja Turtle and splash toys (Janae), Lego Creator Set (Fernando), Switch-n-go Dino (Jack/Dixie), Flip-n-change Transformer (Andrew), Lego Airplane Creator Set (Abby), Lego City Set/2 Hot wheels (Nonnie and Poppie), and a Target gift card to pick out his own Skylander men for the Wii game (Robb/RB).  Needless to say, did I mention my little boy is SPOILED!  We are so blessed and will be having fun for MONTHS to come.  Thanks to everyone who"rolled out" to celebrate and bounce around with us.  I guess the transformation is complete!
