LILY'S LEGO PARTY

Lily turned seven last weekend, but I put the party off for another week, because it's nice to have a little buffer between the holidays and a big party.  We celebrated our oldest with the party theme of her choosing - LEGO!  Our whole family loves Legos, so it was great fun for us all.

I used clip art from the current Classic Lego boxes for the invite and all printables, and I decided to make everything else rainbow to match.  I bought one big box of extra Legos and used others that we already had to decorate, including John's rather large Architecture collection on the mantle.

I let Lily mostly dictate the food, so it was a super kid friendly spread.

(our Halloween costumes made an appearance!  William was not tempted to put his back on.)

I really did keep the activities simple.  There was a table set up with Duplos for younger kiddos, and we did a Lego relay race, a tower building contest and a piñata with the super fun surprise of bouncy balls - gotta love Pinterest for ideas like that!

Then it was time for cake and sending friends on their merry way with mini-figs and chocolate bricks.

All in all, it turned out to be a ton of fun, and I had a very pleased birthday girl!  Happy birthday, Lily!
