A Lego Party

We celebrated Ryker's 4th Birthday with a Lego party today. He really, really loves building with Legos, so this was a perfect fit. Myles and Sydney have never had a big interest in Legos, so I didn't really get the obsession until Ryker came along. I love having a kid who loves Legos! Not only are they so fun, but they are also a great creative outlet for our boy.

We had a few little buddies come over for the celebration, played some games, ate lunch, broke a piñata, enjoyed a Lego cake, and opened presents. This was Ryker's first real birthday party with friends, a theme, games, etc, and he wasn't actually sure what to think. He's been talking about his birthday and having a party with much anticipation since Myles and Sydney both had theirs in July. He's been super excited, but after the party started, the attention, high energy, and *controlled* chaos proved to be a bit too much, and he needed a couple moments alone to regroup...which of course led my parents to recall my 3rd birthday party when I took all of my presents up to my room and locked the door - while my guests were still there! Overall, Ryker had a great time and I know he will talk about this party for a long time.

Food and presents.

A few decorations (I didn't get a picture of the utensil and napkin holders that Gilby made out of Legos. They were so neat!)

Gilby and I had fun putting the details together to add some personal touches to the simple party we had planned (there are so many easy and fun decorations to make with Legos!). Gilby spent a long time getting the Lego cake just right, which was worth it when multiple times Ryker said, "I love my Lego cake." It was a great day celebrating our precious Ryker.
