Party on Wayne!

I still can hardly believe that my little Griff is four.  He has been weighing himself all year and asking if he weighs enough to be four.  How cute is that?  It turns out being 41 inches tall and weighing 33 lbs is enough to be four according to our pediatrician.

This is the first year we did a "friends party" for Griffin.  Keith offered to take our whole family to Chuck E. Cheese (which is saying a lot, because he has NEVER offered that before nor do I think he will again) or to let him choose a "friends party."  He originally chose both (haha) but ultimately decided on having a friend gathering.  We had 8 little people come and play (including Benson and Griffin) and had a great Superhero themed party.

Spiderman visited our house the night before Friday the 13th (my favorite day) and set up an obstacle couse for the party goers.

At the end of the obstacle course were balloons with prizes in them.  The kiddos had to pop them to play the next game.

Spiderman got caught on the window on his way out.  PS, do I not have the prettiest view out my front window?

All the kiddos ready for action (minus a few who were late).  I love Griffin's genuine smile in this picture.  He was SO excited.

And here they are in action!

Griffin made me go with him the first time because he was scared.

Inside their balloons, they found stickers to play our next game. . . pin the web on Spidey.  The kids LOVED this game.

Griffin was adorable times 10 opening his presents.  There were lots of "oh my goshes" and "for goodness sakes" while he ripped open the gifts.

And then he proceeded to hug everyone.

Spiderman aka Mom even made a cake.  It was my first attempt at Fondant and was pretty fun.  Although it tasted like puke.

Check out that huge spider!  I know, I am a rock star.

We played several games that involved popping balloons.  This was how Leo responded to it all.

Griffin's shirt reads "Best brother ever."  There has never been a truer statement.

I love being Griffin's mom and I love that he ripped a whole in his pants at his party. 

A big thanks to my sister Mari who helped so much with the party and took all of the pictures and listened to all of my Nazi orders while we prepped for it.  We also did a bean bag toss and played hot potato.  The prize for every game and their partying gift was red vines, Griffin's favorite treat.  It was such a fun little party.
