Happy Birthday Tiernan!

On December 6th, we celebrated Tiernan's 5th birthday with a party at our church. Thankfully, we were able to rent the gym so 13 of his friends (plus him made 14 kids - what was I thinking?!?) could come "Hulk Out" with us. With the theme as Hulk, Spiderman & Iron Man, Tiernan started off in his Hulk costume but it didn't last too long - he was back into the favorite, Batman, before long. The kids played "Web Spidey" aka "Pin the tail on the donkey". I had Chris draw a Spiderman on a poster board & I made webs with their names on them that we used for the game. We played "Hulk Stomp the Bad Guys" where we blew up balloons, drew bad guy faces on them, tied string to them and then tied them around the kids' ankles. They had to stomp the bad guys! That was pretty funny. Some kids totally got after it. Others were nervous about the balloons popping. The last game was the Iron Man pull. The kids were split into 2 teams, given a blanket & then they had to pull Sloan & Lincoln across the gym floor. We finished up with Hulk & Spiderman cupcakes, ice cream, juice & Sprite. The drink request cracked me up. I was totally going with juice pouches (a kids favorite & easy) but T had been to a party recently where Sprite was offered. He just thought that was the coolest. 
We celebrated T's actual birthday on the 8th with Birthday Tostadas... The kid loves Mexican, especially tostadas. So pictured here is Tiernan with Birthday Tostada & candle. Can't believe my baby's 5! Sniff Sniff.
