Tyler turned 6!!!

Tyler had his birthday, and we let him have a party for it. We had it on a Saturday, and some of the kids we invited couldn't come, so I don't think I'd have it on a Saturday again. Other than that, though, it was great and tons of fun! He wanted Spiderman as the theme (no surprise there!!!) and this is the amazing cake I made. The cupcakes on the outside are spiderwebs with plastic spiders on them. I got the ideas from the internet, and it turned out so much better than I thought it would.







I thought it would be so hard to find spiderman stuff that was inexpensive since the movie came out a while ago, but I found a spiderman tablecloth at the dollar store, and then I just went with a spider them the rest of the way, which was really easy since halloween stuff was already in stores. The boys actually thought for a while that the two big spiders close to the cake (below) were real! They got kind of scared though, so I told them they were fake. Then they REALLY liked them, and were so "brave" to touch and hold them in their hands.
I made these Spiderman masks for them to decorate (Emalyn and Tyler are posing with theirs before anyone got to the party). For some unknown reason, I only got pictures of one of the games. They had to practice their balance and walk along the "Spider-walk" (below) to be just like spiderman. Some of the braver ones did it with one of the spiders on their head.

Present opening-always so much fun...

The following two pictures are from a couple weeks before, when we visited Scott's parents in Payson, and they celebrated Tyler's birthday since they wouldn't be here on the day. They got him a train set, which he loves!
