Birthday Boy

My baby boy turned 7! For the longest time Benjamin has requested all of his parties to be John Deere themed. Out of the blue he asked for a Mario Kart party. I was excited about a whole new theme to work with because I am just a little burnt out on tractors.

The kids did a "coin battle" in the backyard competing on who could find the most gold coins. Afterwards, they broke up into two teams and had a Mario Kart tournament complete with hats and moustaches. We had pizza of course and "Mega Mushroom" cupcakes. It was a lot of fun doing something different.

It was such a fun party. Steven had a blast. Thank you for including him in Ben's day. You did a great job with the theme without going overboard in a cheesy way. Great times! (:

You are so clever. I loved the theme and the boys had a great time. I think Ben has become the Mario Cart Master. I hope he does not forget about his love of "green" your Dad will be crushed.
