Monster Birthday For Our Little Monster

Two weekends ago was so busy!  I can't believe I'm just now getting around to posting these pictures.  In addition to it being the last weekend before school starting and the ice cream social, we also managed to throw a birthday party for Brycie.  The monster theme emerged from a couple of things. One, Bryce has found a new tv show about monsters and this has become a new favorite.  Two, as you might expect or know firsthand, Bryce has been a bit of a monster the last twelve months.  We knew from past experience with Kari that leaving Three behind and heading into Four is a time to rejoice and we're slowly getting there with Bryce.

So, in keeping with the monster theme, it was super easy to come up with a couple of party ideas.  Our usual party guests were invited- the grandparents- although we did have to split it up over two days due to an unplanned conflict.

Grandmo found these really nifty monster pouches that dually served as table decoration and party favors.

 The monster fruit salad was the centerpiece of the party.  This was Grandpo's job Saturday morning and he mastered it beautifully!

 We also had a small activity making monster visors.  Kari loved this; Bryce not so much.

 Monster trucks for a monster birthday!  Grammy Pammy and Dale totally hit the mark!
 Kari was in charge of decorating the cake.




 Oh!  I almost forgot about Kari's favorite part of the party- the eyeball goblets for our Kool-Aid.  Big hit with the kiddos, for sure.  And no, Dale is not massaging Bryce's head; just trying to get him to stand still long enough for a picture.
Gran, Beep Beep and Luise arrived Sunday afternoon for a lovely lunch on the deck.  Bryce got his first baseball tee, ball and glove.  That's one happy little guy there, folks.
