Zach's Birthday

I'm a little late in posting this one but like that is a surprise. Anyway, Zach turned 11, can you believe that? I can't believe how old he is. He has really grown up in the last two years.

This year we allowed Zach to have a party. He was so excited he was telling everyone about it. I had to tell him that he could only have 5-6 friends over max. If he had his way he would have invited the whole school. But I digress. Back to the fun stuff.

The kids have started wanting me to make their cakes so this is what Zach wanted this year.
If you don't know what this is it is a Pokemon cake.
It's not professional looking or anything, but all the kids liked it.

Zach helped me make pokemon cookies to give away.
They were sugar cookies that were frosted with vanilla icing
and then we piped on the red and black frosting.
Well, I should say Zach did the red and black parts. He had fun decorating them.

Here is an up close look at the Poke ball on top of the cake

We put a cookie on a plate and then
placed muddy buddies around them.

We got Zach a DSi. He was a little excited.

Grandma had brought over stuff for the goody
bags. They had woo pie cushions. They
were the hit of the party.

This game the kids had to pop balloons.
The prize was that some were filled with
candy. Some were not. But they had to
use their body parts to pop them.

This game was Pokemon Guess Who.
They had Pokemon Charters taped
to their back and they had
to guess who they were.

The last game was a scavenger hunt. They had to
go from place to place in the house, outside,
and then from my brother Kelly's house.
(he's about 3 blocks from us)

I think they had the most fun with this game because they got
to run around and get a prize for finding the clue.
