Here's some pics from the day:
How cute is this utensil holder?
Mmmm, cake.
You could tell which kids were dropped off and left by their parents.
They were the ones shoveling as much cake as possible as quickly as possible.
The brother-in-law made the pinata.
I know, it was awesome.
Here's The Kid takin' a crack at it.
Once all the kids got a turn, it was time to bust that bad boy open.
A swing and a miss.
After my cousin messed with him, BIL took the blindfold off and whacked the heck out of it.
And then it was like a swarm of crackheads after all that candy.
They also did a pin the head on the lego guy game.
Birthday boy.
The Girl.
The Kid.
Of course, all the kids had fun.
And the party confirmed the fact that my poor children will never have parties that involve more than family members.
That many kids all together running around like psychos is too much for this old mom.
It did, however, make me appreciate my own kids after witnessing several little brats, who shall remain nameless. :)
What a great theme, everything looks fantastic!

That pinata is amazing. Looks like a great time.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha!!! I can't stand it when the brat kids (there always are at least a few) show up at a party. Totally stinks it up! What an amazing party though!!! I think my fav part was all the color blocked food. So cool!
ReplyDeleteWhere did u find the pinata?
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole. My brother-in-law actually made the pinata. He's crazy like that. :o) I think he just used cardboard to make the form and went from there.
DeleteAww this is awesome! Love the party theme! Thanks for sharing the pics! AND the pinata is so creative!! WOW was home-made?? awesome

Thanks Jaclyn! And yes, the BIL is a bit of an overachiever in the homemade department. :O)
DeleteHi ! i love the lego brownies, but i have one question! how did you make the colorful part at the top!!?? thk you!!
ReplyDeleteHi Noemie! You didn't have an email address attached to your profile, so hopefully you see this.
DeleteMy sister colored the frosting with regular grocery store food coloring. She said it took A LOT to get it so vibrant and to match the M & M's. Hope that helps!
hey! thks a lot!
Deletethats why i was wondering, because whenever i m using food coloring i never get such a nice color! :)
Oh. My. Stars. Such cute ideas! I think I will make those lil' cakes for Boo's birthday this year. He loved the pin-the-head on the mini-figure game. Kudos!
ReplyDeleteHi. My first time here. I spotted your lego pic on Stubborn's Place and thought my grandkids would like that theme! Haven't looked at everything but your site looks good. Thanks for taking the time to share your ideas.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. Thank you so much! And thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.
DeleteFound this site through Pinterest. Is that a purple cabbage holding the dip? I love how they served healthy food at a child's birthday party- you rarely see that...
ReplyDeleteHi there! Yes, that is a purple cabbage. My sister hollowed it out for the veggie dip. Cute, huh?
DeleteWe're definitely an eatin' family. The kids eat what we eat - or they go hungry. Ha! I know what you mean, though, about the garbage food served at birthday parties these days. It's no wonder most kids refuse to eat anything healthy. No one is putting it in front of them.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking the time to comment!
I would LOVE to know how the Pinata was made!!
ReplyDeleteHi, my brother-in-law made the pinata by cutting up a large cardboard box and bending it and manipulating it to get the shape he wanted. He said it took a lot of tape. The yellow is crepe paper with slits cut into that he wrapped around the outside of the cardboard frame. Hope that helps!
DeleteYour BIL is an AWESOME dad! I am definitely going to be stealing the Lego utensil holder idea and other ideas too. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'll tell him you said that! :) Thank so much for coming by!
DeleteLove the brownies thanks for the great idea.

ReplyDeletebut i don't understand what is it what they have un top
i do get the m&m but is it fondant on the bottom???
thank you!!!
Hi Jose. I'm so sorry, I'm just now seeing your question.
DeleteIt's just buttercream frosting on top. My sister made them and she said it took A LOT of food coloring to get the color to match the M&M's. Hope that helps!
Thank you so much for sharing all these Lego ideas. By far your party ideas and pics are the best, now I feel so inspired to get started!! My little one turns 5 in a couple of weeks. I was feeling at a loss on what to do, now I'm excited to start on the details of his party.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the Lego Head that was used as a Centerpiece on your table? Also, what did you get for FAvors.
ReplyDeleteOne more question, where did you get the heads for the "pin the head on the Lego Man"? That was a really cute way to display the game. Thanks.

What's the recipe for Lego cakes?!
ReplyDeleteHi, Zoe. The cake is just a regular chocolate cake, baked in a 9 x 13 pan. Food coloring for the frosting and M&M's on top.
DeleteThey also did a pin the head on the lego guy game. Birthday boy. ... ilegostorage.blogspot.com
