Cody Turns 4!

On Cody's actual birthday we built an awesome snowman! A couple days later we had his party, we started with musical chairs, then played a game Nate found at the party store, pin the "X" on the map. It had the funniest mask to cover the kids eyes!

Here's Gavin demonstrating!

Then they went on a treasure hunt with picture clues that ended up at an "x" in the front yard on the snow. Buried underneath was a bag with party favors and a treasure chest pinata. That was fun, for me! Here's a clip of Cody's first attempt at it, don't worry, he didn't really hit me, but at this angle it looks like it!

The kids each got to take a swing at it, and they each knocked out one piece, then would stop. Finally we got Chase to keep whacking at it until all the candy flew, it was fun!

Then we had the treasure map cake that inspired it all. Cody saw a picture of a map cake and couldn't be swayed, that's what he wanted, and that's what this is suppose to be. It was lots of fun, the party, not making the cake! Mom is glad it's over!

I also want to thank all the patient Mom's that brought their kids and/or let them be subjected to the craziness/festivities and helped Cody have a fun birthday!
