Go....Fight....PARTY!!

 The girls had their party this weekend celebrating turning six and two years old this month!

I did a Cheerleading theme with the colors being silver, blue, and white for the Dallas Cowboys.

 My dear friend Robin made the cupcakes and my mom made all of the paper decorations.

The centerpieces were paper doll cheerleaders in varying skin and hair colors with a bowl of silver hershey's kisses and a Cowboys pennant.

The party favors were "Spirit Sticks" of gumballs.

 Here are all the little girls that came.

 And here are the boys.

My precious five!!

Some of the family.

Aunt Beth (Billy's sister), Vivianna's bio grandmother, Nana (Billy's Mom), and Grandpa (my Dad).

 The children all decorated cheer posters.

 Time to blow out candles!

Then the cheerleaders I booked showed up to work with the girls on some cheers...

The cheerleaders were so sweet to bring all the girls highschool swag and to make personalized megaphones for the birthday girls. So much fun!

After the cheer routines it was time for presents.

 It was such a great birthday for our girlies!!

5..4..3..2..1: Rocket Party Lift Off!!

 

This wreath on the front door set the stage for our theme.

 Jayden's 5th birthday party was this morning. I chose to do a rocket theme and wanted the colors to be orange and blue. I thought a breakfast party would be fantastic and fun...different than anything I had done before and it was!

Jayden's Grandma has a scrapbook room in her house with a Cricut and she spent hours whipping up rocket invitations, a banner, and other rocket shaped decor items to go along with my theme and colors. This was a HUGE help in making the party room pop. Thanks Mom!

 I hosted it in the front room of our house and had tables set up so Jayden and all of his friends could relax and enjoy a yummy breakfast.

 

All of the food was rocket themed of course:

 A cereal bar: Moon rocks, Planets, and Saturn's Rings.

 Rocket wing waffle triangles.

 Donut hole Asteroids.

 Clementine Meteors.

 Yogurt parfait rocket pops and cinnamon roll cookies!

 

Orange juice boxes and syrup cups were set on each table.

 Jayden anxiously awaited the arrival of his peeps.

 

Breakfast was a big hit with all the boys.

We sang happy birthday and he blew out 5 candles on a plate of birthday sprinkles waffles.

 

I had a basket of craft supplies set up to make paper rockets.

 We lined them up to dry and later had a relay race.

With straws taped to the rocket backs, the children lined up and "launched" their rockets into the clouds.

 The first child to cross the line with a cloud won.

 Then we moved onto the outer space shoot out.

 

Because boys love to shoot nerf guns of course. :)

 After this, we all went outside for what was supposed to be the

 Big Rocket Launch.

 Well...not so much. It did shoot up a couple of times but not very high. Us moms all got a big laugh out of seeing the dads try, though.

We wrapped up the morning with gifts and party favors.

The party favors were cereal bowls with spoons, pop rocks, Reese's PB cups, fruity pebbles cereal bars, gumballs, glow in the dark stars, and popping aliens.

Thank you to everyone who came and made 

Jayden's 5th birthday so special.

To finish up, here are the 5 year portraits I did of him:

A Very Happy Birthday, indeed.
