Happy 5th Birthday Super Graham


Times flies --- just like any superhero.  
Graham recently turned five.  

ordered from here

Our celebration was filled with amazing friends and lots of (cold) fun!  We made superhero arm bands, played a little "Hot kryptonite" (instead of hot potato!) and had kryptonite races!

kryptonie relay races...just pure fun here

I scored these awesome capes from the dollar store just before Halloween!  My very talented friend made the masks for her son's party and gave me the remainders!  Visit her etsy store here.




My decorations and invite came from this amazing etsy shop.  
LOVE THE WORK, Customer Service was awesome too! 


We served hot dogs and chili, apples, grapes & cheese, a few cheese and cracker dips and lots of m&ms! 


Great American Cookie Company cake...amazing. 


transformed the robot from last year to a superhero too. 


I also created this photo booth using bulletin board paper from the teacher store and a pack of sharpies in three metallic colors.  I used spray adhesive to attach the paper to a foam board and used a "sort of" strait edge to create the buildings.  Graham had a blast helping me with this project.  It took about two hours start to finish and I was thoroughly excited it came out like I envisioned it...my husband didn't understand what I was going for until it was complete!  If you know my obsession with monograms, you will immediately recognize that the last building on the right is my favorite! 


  
Graham enjoyed playing with his friends and a fun time was had by all! 




Ben and I are continually amazed by this little boy.  We often ask ourselves how we ended up so lucky to get this kid.  Graham, you are the light of our eyes.  Continue to shine brightly for the world to see! 



Graham's Grandparents love him too!
