Landon's Birthday Party

This year Landon had a "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" themed birthday party!  We had our parents here, as well as some of Landon's friends.  There were about 30 people at our house and it was a lot of fun.  I think Landon had a blast, which is the most important thing!!

Matt made a watermelon look like a pirate ship

 We put Jello Jigglers around the bottom the day of the party to look like water and filled the watermelon with fruit

Matt and I made Landon a pirate ship cake.  We made it to look like Jake's ship, Bucky!  It took us a little while, but we liked how it turned out and Landon loved it!

 We also dipped some oreos in peanut butter chips to make them look like a treasure map.

 All decorated and ready for the party

Happy 5th Birthday Landon!

Landon is 5 years old today!!!  It seems so crazy to us.  We can't believe how fast time goes.  We actually have to register Landon for Kindergarten today too, which to me is actual proof of how old and big he is :(  Landon is such a sweet little boy.  He is a GREAT big brother, and he is very caring.  He loves to go to school, play outside, read books, write his numbers and letters, sing and dance, do crafts, spend time with Keegan and climb and jump on and off everything.  Matt and I took the day off today to spend it with Landon on his birthday (before he will be in school all day) and we are having a fun family day!  Last night when I went to bed, I decorated Landon's door with some Jake streamers and I also wrote on his bathroom mirror and our bathroom mirror with Window markers!  He was very excited when he woke up this morning.

His door...

 The first thing that Landon wanted to do this morning was open his birthday presents from us….he got some clothes, a real tool set, a telescope and a purple drawstring bag.

 Opening his tool set

 He told Keegan that he could help him open his presents, which was really sweet.

 After presents, we had breakfast.  Landon had a big waffle with chocolate chips and sprinkles.  

 We sang "Happy Birthday" to him and he blew out his candle!

 Keegan enjoyed his chocolate chip waffle too!

 After breakfast we headed to Sky Zone, which is an indoor trampoline park.  They had a big foam pit, tons of trampolines and basketball.  The boys had a blast!

 Jumping from one trampoline to the next.

 There were even trampolines on the walls that you could jump off of….Landon loved that!

The boys played for a little over an hour and were exhausted.  We headed to Barnes and Noble next for Landon to exchange some books and pick out new ones then back here for lunch.  The boys are sleeping now after their fun morning and getting rested up for our fun night….Landon loves Mexican so he picked Fiesta Jalapeños for his birthday dinner tonight!  Stay tuned for some more pics from Landon's birthday party this past weekend!
