I decided to NOT plan any party games. It's too hard for that many kids to play organized games and they are more of the age to just want to play anyway. I did print some Octonaut coloring sheets and Grammy painted faces for us (and her painting was EXCELLENT!). Otherwise, it was play, cupcakes, and presents! HOORAY!
Some pictures from the big day!
Getting warmed up for party time...
Papa Frank warmed up the gear table.
Grammy doing some great paint work!
Mr. Kenny came with Ian and Julia!
Time to sing and EAT! Gillian had picked out her cupcake at home, but Colin waited until party time.
First we sang to Colin (he WAS born first).
Then Gillian!
After snacks, we had some more playtime!
Then we opened A LOT of presents (seriously, very generous friends).
Look at that swarm of boys all over that helicopter. It was HIT. J.D. got it for Colin and Colin was immediately smitten. He told us "It is the most awesome present ever."
Both Colin and Gillian were very sweet when they were opening their presents. They were very appreciative and gracious. Gillian even gave out a few hugs as she opened presents. It was very nice to see.
Friend love.
What a fun, fun party! We hope our guests had as much fun as we did. The kids are already planning their next party!
***I know it looks like the only kids at the party were Colin, Gillian, Ian, and Julia. BUT, I hate to use pictures of other people's kids on my blog. I know Ian and Julia's mom and dad are okay with it! I protected everyone else!***

What a great place for a kid party! Looks like everyone had fun! I do a similar thing...I don't include other people's kids or the adults themselves unless they give me permission to do so.
