Happy 5th Birthday!!!!!

We went back to the "Ropes" playground this time for a Ninja Turtle-themed party.  Which meant I had pizza and fruit and veggies to prepare ... and may have stolen a display idea from the internet...

Ninja Turtle fruits and veggies!

Michelangelo celery and carrots!

Leonardo in grapes and blueberries

Donatello in grapes and more grapes

Raphael with a mask made of strawberries

And Grandma got a great Ninja Turtle cake and cupcakes

The kids invited tons of friends and family and we ended up having over sixty people there, including about thirty kids.  Thank goodness there was a play structure!

Auntie came!

Caroline climbed

And climbed...

The boys drew the Ninja Turtles in chalk!

It's Donatello with his bo staff!

Caroline and Jeweletta had matching Ninja Turtle BFF shirts.

Boppy made it back from Florida for the party

Mommy actually got a moment to sit down and talk to people

A whole play structure, and the favorite activity is still "climb Uncle"

Caroline introduces her friend Madeleine to her friend Harmony

Gift bags!

And then it was time for cake!

Blowing out the candles

They got their own color coded cupcakes, as requested

Blue for Leonardo/Daniel

Red for Raphael/Caroline

And green for Max (we didn't think to get orange for Michelangelo!)

And they even got to open their presents at the party - making out with a whole new wardrobe of Ninja Turtle t-shirts and a ton of fun new toys!

And then they went home and tore into EVERYTHING before bedtime!
