Kehlton's 4th Birthday

Now that it's been well over a month since Kehlton's birthday, I figured it would be a good time to stick in on the blog.  Actually, I had it done a long time ago and just realized I never hit publish.

Kehlton got to have his first birthday party this year, and he wanted it to be all about robots.  He was a huge help with the decorating; one of his favorite things to do is build robots out of his Trio blocks.

Juice jugs were the beverage of choice, 

(which we learned after the party that they aren't really so yummy, as NONE of the kids would drink them)

I wanted to keep sugar at a minimum, 

so all the kids got cheddar snack mix and string cheese to munch on, which they all loved.

The other aspect of the table decor were these cute wind up robots that Lala got for K and all his little friends.

Each of the children got to decorate their own robot costume.

I spray painted 8 paper grocery bags silver, and then cut holes for their heads and arms.

I then gave them paper cut in different shapes, glue sticks and crayons and let them go to town.

They were all quite excited to model their costumes when they were finished!

From L-R; Brychan, Asher B., Brendan K., K, Preston C., Teairsa E., Tennyson E., Jayden H.

After the kids were done with their robot costumes, we did a quick robot scavenger hunt; looking for photos of robot pieces.  After they found all the necessary pieces, they came in, picked out one of the wind up robots that were on the food table, and they got to take turns racing them.

After presents and cake, each of the kids got to take home one of these little guys, which actually has a robot eraser inside of it (which, again, were courtesy of Lala's fun job).

(I'm really sad I didn't get a photo of the actual erasers.  They adorable!)

Oh. This was his actual birthday cake that we had on his birthday.  

It's not perfect, but he loved it, so that's all that matters!

Happy, happy birthday, K!!  Our family would not be the same without your cute smile, loving words or quick (spicy!) wit.  We are so, so proud of you!!
