Bradley’s Party

On Saturday morning the snow was finally melting away into streaming little rivers so we packed up and went to Bradley’s scheduled Birthday party at the movie theatres.  We had it all set up to see THE LEGO MOVIE with him, his brothers and nine other friends.  All boys.  Yes, we are already at this phase I guess.  It snuck up on me so soon but just because he was told he had a limited amount of invites. 

Setting up with our friend Carter.

I did have to push the party back when I thought they may have a make up snow day Saturday morning and have to go to school.  Because of this preventative change I had the party room for an hour before the movie.  It was quick so we played this game, ate lunch, sang and then ate some cupcakes and ice cream and by that time we realized the movie theatre was filling up fast so we went and got the kids their popcorn trays and headed in to get our seats.  

Bradley and I made the ‘Where Are MY Pants Guy’ from the movie and did a pin the pants on game.  The boys loved it! I spinned them blindfolded seven times since that was the magic number.

They had a Lego Man to color at their place setting designated with their Lego favor bag that had their name on it. 

They got lots of cool goodies.  Stickers from the movie,gumballs, Lego candy, money for the arcade, sticky hands and the best of all.  A Lego key chain that Brad helped me make.  So grateful that he did that because I could not tie knots like him to make them look legit and kid approved.

We have them on the boys lunch boxes and Bradley’s book bag now.

This amazing boy of ours….seven!

Group shot.  His guests were Gino, Carter, Wyatt and Soren our longtime military friends and Patrick, Will, Tyler, Paxton and Lucas from his class.

Being shy that it is all about him at the moment.

 

This face tells us Thank You even though he said it.

The movie was AWESOME and SUPER.  A few key words from the movie.  The boys were glued and we only had one that wasn’t ours that needed to go to the bathroom for an hour and 45 minutes.  All twelve of them sat in a row with a Dad on each end and myself and my friend Rayma sat behind them.  We pulled it off and it was the busiest Saturday ever in that place being after everyone was cabin fevered into their homes. 

The kids used their quarters and played at the arcade while their parents came to pick them up.

Once we got home Bradley opened his gifts.

He got so many great things.  He was so grateful and excited about each one.  The boys have since been loving the new Lego sets to add to their first set.  They just started Lego’s this Christmas from Grammy.  I had been holding them off because I heard how annoying the pieces were.  Yes, they are being found everywhere and annoying but the boys sit and use their imaginations to build.  Each of them.

 

The after party.  It was a successful 7th Birthday Party to celebrate our exceptional first son.  We love you Bradley Bear!
