Dallin's Birthday Party!

Friday night was Dallin's BIRTHDAY PARTY! Dallin decided that he wanted a "DRIVE IN MOVIE PARTY" this year. I was SO excited that he wanted to do this because just a few months ago we did that for the Activity Day girls! I had most of the stuff already on hand!

I re-vamped the invite:
The kids came and were immediately sent downstairs to get to work on their cars. Each kid had a box and could us a variety of papers, felts, stickers, crayons, markers, etc. to decorate their cars!
Then we handed out awards for the cars: fastest looking, funniest, best off road vehicle, etc. The kids were awarded tickets they could use to purchase food from our concession stand!
They parked their cars in the "parking lot" in front of the TV. Then they climbed into their cars to watch the feature presentation: The Sandlot.
***Pretty much forgot that the movie has quite a few swear words. O well, the kids still had a S%&* load of fun!

After the movie we had cake and ice cream. My cake turned out SO CUTE! I even added some little speakers like the old school drive ins used to have! ☺

Dallin had a blast......and so did the adults I have to admit! EASY birthday party...I am all about it!

After the movie we had a few minutes to spare. We let the boys play with the new fyrflyz toys that I bought Dallin for his birthday! AWESOME toy! Need a little Christmas gift idea? I'd recommend a few of these babies!
One very happy birthday boy:
LOVE you Dal!
