Thomas turns 5: aka the Superhero Mickey party

Near the end of February, we celebrated Thomas' 5th birthday. He wanted a superhero themed party, which I was on board with. We invited over 5 preschool friends (plus some siblings) for "superhero in training" games and cake. 

Here's what TJ wore to the party. Because wouldn't you wear shorts on a 20 degree day in Michigan? 

We did things a little differently, and each kid got their goody bag at the beginning of the party. (Yes, I had fun with the theme!)

 Inside the goody bags were capes and masks, so everyone could be a superhero!

On the obstacle course:

The egg relay race. They were hard boiled, of course!


The punch box--found this idea online and used the box from our cross country ski poles to make my own.

What was behind each of the punch holes--superhero suckers!

The super heroes!

Thomas' cake. With the theme he wanted, I decided to make a "Super T" cake (just like on his cape from Aunt MB). After our trip to Disney, Thomas really wanted a Mickey superhero party, so I added Mickey's head into the cake.

Getting ready to blow!

The next day--wearing the birthday hat and eating his treat at preschool.

Birthday gift: a new (metal!) bat--he's ready for t-ball to start!

Love the look on Jojo's face as TJ looks at his birthday card.
