Trevor’s 8th Birthday!!

I cannot believe Trevor is turning 8 years old! It has gone by so quickly! He has such a big personality for his age…and ,really, always has!

Let’s step back in time for a second… These are all before his 1st birthday!

Check out his “fangs”….it was so cute to see him bear his pearly whites…even though he didn’t have many!

Like I said earlier…BIG personality for a little person! I still giggle at this photo…:)

So sweet and innocent! Only he can make a soft toy box look good as a hat! :)

Okay, back to the present…Trevor had specific ideas for his birthday celebration. He wanted his best friend, Jake, to sleepover on Friday night and have a Costume Birthday Party on Saturday! What great ideas! And so it was planned…with Ben10 as the theme, as Trevor is all about Ben10 right now!

Here’s Trevor and Jake, after a fun night of playing Ben10 together and having homemade pizza for dinner…all smiles! Just before his friends were going to arrive, we surprised him with this…

Patiently waiting while Dad takes a picture….. “Can I open it now???”

Checking out the goods!!! Passes inspection with flying colors…only moments later, he was transformed and grinning from ear to ear!

The guests soon arrived and the fun began…They seemed to be really enjoying being dressed up!  There were Ben10 characters, Darth Vader, Storm Trooper, Alien, Skeletons, Cleopatra, Fairies, Princesses, etc….what a fun idea Trevor had! A real hit with the kids!  We had Ben10 playing on the TV as background, played Twister (which was a HUGE hit), had an egg race (plastic eggs…I am not that insane!), pinned the Omnitrix on Four Arms, had grilled hot dogs, cheese balls, and grapes, then had cake and ice cream…and finished it all with the opening of presents! It was a really great time and went by really quickly… some photos of all the fun…

Like I said…Twister was a BIG hit! We were cracking up laughing!

I think it would be fair to say Trevor was having a great time!

Getting ready to “pin” the Omnitrix on Four Arms… For those not versed in “Ben10 speak”, the object was to get their white circle closest to the four armed figure on Ben10’s watch (called the Omnitrix) on the big poster. SDC11721

We were all giggles…the kids were purposefully “misleading” their blind-folded buddies away from the target! :0 There were some kids that were so spun around they were headed out the breakfast room door!!

Chow time!!! A dozen hungry, “wound-up” kids….:) I couldn’t believe how much they ate….I think it was about 36 hot dogs, two big bags a cheese balls, and a large punnet of grapes! Glad we don’t have to feed all of them every day! :)
