Calling All Superheroes!

We put out the word that all superheroes would be needed at our house this past Saturday.

We were all so excited to be able to celebrate Jackson's (I mean, Batman's) birthday!

I made a sign for our front door letting everyone know that this was party headquarters.

By 2:00 Spidergirl, Batman and Wonder Woman were ready to roll!

Spidergirl and Batman were even flexing their muscles in preparation for the upcoming obstacle course.

Jared and I got into the theme, too, with our Superwoman and Justice League t-shirts...

and Boom came as Superman as well!

We had lots of yummy snacks for our guests to enjoy.

Since it was raining, our first event was the Kryptonite Toss, formerly known as Bean Bag Toss.  There were two teams and the idea was for the first team to finish to get a prize.  Well, not long after we started the teams blended together a bit, so after everyone had had a turn I just gave them all a prize. 
It's tough keeping up with 20 plus kids!

After that, it was time to hit the Batman pinata out on our back patio. 
Batman went first and did a good job--he even knocked a small hole in the pinata so I had to tape it up in order to let the rest of the kids have a chance to hit it!

Spidergirl did good as well, although she wasn't nearly as rough as Batman. 
Almost everyone got a turn before all the candy began spilling out.

Then it was like a gold rush!  Get the candy, get the candy, get the candy!!

Little Wonder Woman wouldn't have gotten any, but her mama swooped in and scooped up two pieces.  She was so excited about her Kit Kat.

After we came back inside it was time to sing to the birthday boy.

He was very concerned about Madison not helping him blow out any of his 5 candles. 
Thank goodness she complied!

All the kids enjoyed their cupcakes...

and ice cream...

while the adults got to savor the oh-so-delicious mexican chocolate cake. 

Thanks, everyone for getting into the theme so much.  Sarah Ruth even wore her cape!

Since it rained throughout the entire party, we weren't able to go run the obstacle course outside.  Boo!  Instead, Batman got to open his gifts, which he loved doing.  Thank you for all of the awesome presents for my little superhero--y'all were way too generous.

We loved seeing our littlest friends...

as well as our cool older friends!

This kid is still working on getting to all of his new toys.  He is so pumped about all of them that it would be silly for me to try and name his favorites.

We hope that y'all had fun and enjoyed your Jackson M&Ms.

Thanks again for making his party really great!  Y'all rock!
