A Party Fit For a King!

Today we celebrated Kyan's 6th birthday with a few close friends and family members at our house, Kings and Queens style!

The kiddos who attended and who looked so cute in their crowns!

Lola, Kyan, Jayla, Dan, Sydney, Steven, Saige, Mason, Michelle, and Gage!


After our bellies were full from pizza and wings, the kiddos (and a few mommy helpers) painted treasure chests and jewelry boxes! We did this first so that they would dry in enough time to put all the candy collected from the pinata later on!

After much playing time outside (and painting), we headed in to sing happy birthday to Kyan! Kyan begged for homemade chocolate chip cookies (not sure which he likes more, the batter or the actual cookie?!) for his birthday, and although I didn't have time to make for his classroom treat, I made it happen for him today! Instead of cupcakes, we ate cookies!!! The candle stayed up long enough for us to sing to him!

While the guests munched on cookies, Kyan opened up his presents!

Then we headed outside to bust open the treasure chest pinata!

This was the first pinata that I have ever bought for a party (we always do parties away, where someone else can clean up the mess, like Peter Piper Pizza or something) so I wasn't really prepared! Uncle B had to get rope out of his car and the bat that we had wasn't very strong and Kyan broke after just one swing, so the rest of the kids swung away using a golf club! Oops!

Just a picture of the kids "loot" that they got to take home with them! Their painted treasure chest (I know, kinda pirate-ish, but didn't know what else to use for the kings) or jewelry box, candy, crown, coins, and jewels! The boys also got compasses and swords to take that aren't pictured and the girls had their wands!

I am pretty sure that all of the kids had a blast, I know Kyan sure did! He told me over and over again how much he LOVED his party today and that he hoped everyone else did too!

Happy Birthday (Party Day) King Kyan!
Love you sweet boy.

PS - Kyan lost his second tooth on his actual birthday! Auntie Kiki pulled this one out! Now he is talking even funnier than before!

And if you are wondering where my header went, blogger is having some technical difficulties and when I went to put a new one up (even try to put the old one back in after I realized their was an issue, like hours later) it just showed up blurry. I have been reading blogger news and seems like it is not just mine, so until it is fixed, I can't seem to stomach looking at it like that, so it will just be our title for now, no picture. So if you were thinking about changing your header right now...WAIT!

FINALLY, Blogger seems to have fixed the header issue! Yay, no more blurry picture!
