Alien Birthday Adventures

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
TO OUR FAVORITE ETHAN!!

All the little aliens (they had to "earn" their alien eyes by doing things like carrying alien eyeballs in a race without dropping them,moon-walking, and picking up moon rocks with their eyes closed)

The UFO cake, complete with Ben 10 alien figures (we haven't actually ever seen the show, but Ethan loves the action figures!!)

Time to eat!

The alien pinata (my first attempt at making a pinata--I thought it turned out pretty good for a beginner!)

The alien pinata was getting bashed in all the right places, and for several blows it kind of looked like it was throwing up! We put the treat bags in the pinata and had balls in them that light up when they're thrown, hit, etc., so the kids were pretty amazed as they saw all the glowing lights coming from the alien's mouth!


Ethan will turn 6 this Tuesday (March 3). He's got the very cool birthday of 03/03/03! He has been asking for the last several months to have an alien birthday party, so we had it yesterday. It turned out to be pretty fun! There were some pretty shy kids in the group (which I think made it turn out to be the quietest birthday party ever) but everybody seemed to be quietly having a great time!
