Dreytons 5th birthday party

I decided to have Dreyton's birthday party a month early.  With moving, and Christmas at the end of December, it was just too crazy.

 It was nice to have it a month early, where not much else was happening so I could spend some time making his party as fun as possible.

my boy is all about superhero's, so it was no question to have a superhero party.

I enjoy making my kids birthday invitations with my digital scrapbooking software.   I planned a superhero training birthday party, where they learned to be superheros.   

I decided to make capes for all the kids.  Considering I really have never sewn before, this was a HUGE task for me to take on by myself.   They are not perfect, but they did the job, and the kids were excited to get there own capes.   These were 6 out of the 8 capes I made.   

Super food!   Dreyton strongly dislikes pizza, so we had hot dog wraps for his party.   

Since I am in the process of moving, and my house is a mess I booked the church for his party.  It was great to have so much space to plan and organize his party.

One thing I did not do was make his cake for him this year.   I wanted to spend my time making capes instead.   He picked this out at the "bakery" which he was super excited about.  

Uncle Shawn and Tenley.  Tenley had fun exploring the church, I had also set up a playpen and baby monitor in one of the rooms so she could nap.    

"Nemesis", the kids had to make sure he didn't destroy the party!

They had video's that they watched on the Ipad which "Nemesis" recorded, telling them the bad things he was doing to try to destroy the superhero training party.    

In order to become superhero's they had to have super speed, learn to fly, and super strength.   

Super speed was doing some obstacle courses around the gym 

Super Strength was lifting the milkjug full of ice 5 times above their head.   

and Learning to fly was jumping super high in the inflatable bouncer

After they did all their tasks, they earned their capes.

"Nemesis" froze superman's power in these balls and the kids had to figure out how they were going to get the balls out of the ice.   We helped them figure out they had to run it under warm water to rescue them.    

Next they had to find all the kryptonite "glow sticks" around the church, so they wouldn't lose there superhero powers.

At the end they found "Nemesis" and had to take off his hat (which gave him his evil powers), they found out it was Lee and he had accidentally put on a hat that gave him the evil powers, and they rescued him.

At the end, kids ran around in the dark gym with the inflatable bouncer, glow sticks, and lights in the fog (I rented a fog machine).
