We Have a Winner!!

OK, Last night we went to what I think is the coolest birthday party I've ever been to. I'm just bummed I didn't think of it!!!! I wish my printer would work....just once...and I could scan these invitations for you to see. On the front was the seal of the Dept. of Defense and inside are PERSONALIZED orders for each child...Private Taylor was instructed to be at Camp Simms to carry out the mission of celebrating his friend Logans b-day. He was to be dressed appropriately to carry out bootcamp drills and there would be dinner and b-day rations provided. (so cute) Also, in lieu of gifts, we were asked to help stock a care package to the troops serving over seas. (tear, sniff)

So when we got to the party...which was is Logans parents warehouse...the kids were given head bands, dog tags, tatoos, and code names....

aka...Taylor and Mimi

"Private Benjamin" Ha. She was so happy she was wearing an outfit that matched her head band!

Then we said the pledge of allegiance. Check out T standing at attention.

Uh, oh, it's hard to say what I caught these 2 doing inside the obstecle course....plotting a take-over?

They divided everyone into teams and had stations to go to. This is the coloring table. Where the kids colored pictures to send in the care package. All the kids in T's class love his baby sister. They're so sweet w/ her...she fits right in!

Taylor was the coach of his team....he really enjoyed the Power role! Ugh.

Here are the troops....After about 50 times each running the course, it actually wasn't hard to get them to sit still for this!

Everyone was given a completion certificate with their treat bags...and a US Navy poster. (Don't worry Squid, we won't hang it up!!) So, what do ya think? The coolest birthday party ever???

That's what I thought!
