Matt and Stephani: Mason's Monster Party

Mason's Birthday is actually at the beginning of January, but on December 29, Matt found out he would be leaving for Texas to fight fire. Knowing he would miss Mason and I's birthdays, I decided to throw together a party that next day so we could all celebrate together! When I asked Mason what kind of party he wanted, he told me he needed to have a Monster Party! It actually turned out to be a great theme because in the time frame we had, I was pretty much limited to what was already in our house for decorations. So a lot of construction paper, google eyes, and glue later...Monsters!

This is when he first saw his cake...

I loved how the indentations on the cups made it look like they were frowning!

His presents...I have to admit, I had a lot of fun making these! It was a good thing I had done his birthday shopping when I did the Christmas shopping!

The first time he saw the gift bags...he was so excited he hit the floor laughing and kicking!

A ball toss game...this is actually our bean bag toss from my daycare, I just covered it with a poster board to make it look like a monster and I made simple styrofoam eyeballs for the kids to toss.

Glued eyes onto feather dusters and decorated the wall with construction paper monster faces.

The table had more monster faces stuck into styrofoam balls.

The older kids were in charge of the games, Avilee did the ball toss, and Spencer did monster bowling, and monster hide and seek. I don't know how I missed pictures of the other two games, but I did...whoops! the bowling pins are monsters, and the hide and seek game, Spencer hid a stuffed monster we had around the house for the kids to find.
