Birthday Party review in Photo

Here are some photos from Brogan's Birthday Party....please see the next entry for journaling of the event.

The official invite (created by my wonderfully crafty and talented friend Tracey...to see more of her stuff I encourage you to click on her link at the side of my blog for "Sam's Town")

Pre-Party Entertainment...building periscopes that was scored at Lowes during the kids craft activity that they host FOR FREE every other Saturday...check with your local Lowes..I hear Home Depot does it as well. Don't you just love the safety goggles and tiny hammer? The hat got in the way but keep an eye out for it in the following photos.
The cake. Brogan requested one with diggers and workers making a road. Easy, right? Can you find the 3 workers? One holding 2 candles. One holding a 3rd, and the other digging himself out of a hole by the big digger. Brogan was pleased with the outcome.
A close-up of the name tags for the "worker lunch boxes" that we served dinner for all kids under 8 in.
All the lunch boxes....
The decorations...Brian always does the decorations but I made the road signs on the walls...and check out the sand table in the middle of the room. 50lbs of sand for $4 at Lowes. Awesome. And we only used 1/2 the bag...and NO...it did NOT all end up on the floor (as predicted by the concerned husband).
The snacks: paint cans of chex-mix and smart pop, the dump truck with snickerdoodles, and the Hess truck with sweedish fish...plus another shot of the cake. All Brogan's favorite snacks. Missing would have been gold fish and apple sauce, but they were represented in the lunch boxes.
Most of the guests...all family...the perfect way to celebrate. Brogan is modeling his new camo hat. He got a hat, gloves, pull-over sweater, and pants all in the same camo print. He's set for those late night sneaky activities his uncle Bryce has been indicating he will take him on. Joy. He was given lots of construction stuff (diggers, tools, legos, etc) and 2 wonderful capes (those will appear in pictures later on, we're certain). Thank you for all the thoughtful gifts! He loves them all and our living room is quite impressively adorn with the spoils of the night still. We are so grateful to have so much family nearby to celebrate such big days! Thanks for being part of it. We love you!
Birthday boy waiting to blow out the candles...see, I told you the construction hat would show up. He is now the proud owner of 4 construction hats and has tried to wear all of them at the same time at least once....and will probably try again. 'Cause he's just that kind of boy.
WE LOVE YOU, BOY! YOU ARE THE BEST!
