We started the party by letting them jump in the bounce house. Then we made snow. I got some Insta-snow, which is a polymer that grows when you add water. It even felt cold (thank you Aunt Julie and Uncle Brad for the idea, they got Glenn some for Christmas). We put the snow in a bowl and they each had a turn to add water and make it grow. Then we put it in the water table. Here they are waiting for me to get it ready. I'm not sure what Glenn was looking at, but it made for a good picture.
Then we grew some snow:
They loved playing with it. Notice it's in Alexander's hair:
After jumping some more in the bounce house, we made cotton ball snowmen:
We ate dinner, which included ice blocks (blue jello jiggler squares), penguin food (blueberries, I know, they don't eat berries, but the kids didn't know that), polar bear fare sandwiches, and some other stuff.
Then we played snowman bowling:
The kids got to create their own snowman cupcake. Sorry, there isn't a good picture of the snowman cupcakes (blame Bob). but they had a triangular orange gummy candy for the nose, large chocolate chips for the eyes, small chocolate chips for the mouth, and I cut an oreo cookie to make a hat.
Glenn had trouble getting the last candle out. Finally, his friend helped him.
Yummy!
The aftermath of presents:
Glenn loved it. And the kids had fun, too. On Monday was his actual birthday. He didn't go to school because he had an elevated temperature on Sunday. But it passed quickly and he was fine on Monday. He opened his presents from us and some of our family as soon as we could get Daddy out of bed. Then he kept me busy putting things together, helping him play with his new toys, and having a picnic lunch.
It's hard for me to believe he's already 6! Time is flying by!
