Since the boys' birthdays are just a few weeks apart, we thought we would try a joint party this year. I had a hard time deciding on a theme that both boys would love. Henry likes Star Wars and the Octonauts. Georgie likes balls and working on house projects with Grandpa S. I had settled on a "non-theme" theme party with generic everything, but then one morning I watched as both boys were playing with legos and eureka! Both boys love legos! A lego party would be perfect.
Henry helped string the banner.
George helped hang balloons.
Claire is my master party planner and loves to help decorate.
Since it was a brunch, we had breakfast sandwiches, hash browns and fruit salad, along with some yummy extras that the grandmas brought to share.
Family gathered Saturday mid-morning to begin the birthday celebration.
George figured out that he could use the fan to
blow the balloons around for a fun game.
The Sternberg cousins enjoyed their hash browns.
The adults had a nice time visiting with each other.
And then the real fun began...
Presents!
George the Tool Man.
Please nobody tell him they are just plastic.
Henry pointed out the Great White Shark and explained to us
that they don't have gills like the blue whales.
The boy is terrified of bugs, but this Bug Explorer Kit was right up his alley.
Grandpa helped George open his gift.
A perfect tower to knock over.
The kids tested the weight limit on Grandpa's homemade balance beam.
A perfect balance beam for staying out of the hot lava.
Just what every 5-year-old needs!
Aunt Melissa joined in some Lego fun.
And to complete our Lego Birthday Party, a couple of Lego cakes,
as well as some No-Bake Cookies from Grandma S.
George needed a little help with his candles, but I didn't realize until afterwards that I had put three candles on his cake! No wonder he didn't want to blow them out. I'm sure he was trying to tell me there was an extra candle, but we were all caught up in the excitement. Don't get ahead of yourself George. You have a whole year before you need that extra candle.

I wondered where Claire and George went until I found them in Claire's room. They must have been tuckered out from all the birthday fun.
