Smile! It's Marc's Party!

Yesterday was Marc's 4th Birthday Party!  He was pumped to have a "Smiley Face Party" with four of his closest friends (and their families!). We touched up our decorations a bit from his birthday on Thursday and got ready to celebrate Marc with lots of games, food, and fun!
Game 1:  Smiley bowling!  We drew smily faces on Marc's yellow plastic balls and on small plastic cups that I painted yellow, then lined the kids up and challenged them to knock over the cups with the balls.  It was a hit!
 Game 2: Smiley ball toss!  Jarrod cut out a smiley face on a large box and we painted it yellow.  Then used the same small plastic yellow balls from the first game to toss into the box.  The kids had a great time (as long as they were close enough to get at least one ball in the smile!)

Game 3: Disney Bingo!  It was one of Marc's birthday presents, and he was excited to share it with everyone!  When each of the kids got Bingo, they received a prize that they all opened when the game was over.  They loved it!
  (notice the family picture above the TV.. throughout the week prior to the party - Marc, Emmalyn and I painted a bunch of smiley faces, cut them out, and posted them around the house! It was great to get him involved with the decorating!)

The Food! That always brings a smile in our house! :)  We had fruit, veggies, popcorn, and pizza -- some of Marc's favorites!  I wanted to see if the pizza place would make smiles on the pizza.. but I settled for making smiley fruit and veggie platters:
YUM!

And the Cake!

What is a party without Friends (and presents..)!


Happy 4th Birthday, Marc Charles!
