American Ninja Warrior - 7th Birthday

Happy New Year!!  We stayed up until midnight but not partying.  Nope. We got a puppy!  More on that later but right now is Drew's 7th birthday party.  (I told you I am going out of order )
THEY.HAD.A.BLAST.

He originally wanted to go to chuck-e-cheese, so I obviously was trying to think of something else to change his mind.  I was talking to my boss and he said that his boys went to a party at Chows gymnastics and they had obstacle courses set up for them.  BINGO!!

I suggested this to Drew and he LOVED it. (phew!).  I ordered some cheap headbands and put everyones name on them.  I decided not to stress myself over the cake this year, so I just ordered red/white/blue cupcakes from Hy-vee.  I just made the circle's for the top and put them in the cupcakes.  And a yearly favorite, drink wraps for the Gatorade.  There was not 'prefabbed' items for American Ninja Warrior so we had to get a little creative and basically had a red white and blue theme.  It worked. :)

Parker took it upon himself to hand them out when our guests arrived.  He is quite the party kid.

I made this shirt for Drew. He was pretty pumped that he was the only 'really' ninja warrior. ;)
