Braxton's 5th Birthday

Braxton is really into space right now so he really wanted a space party. So we had little NASA packs for all the kids, had space decorations and party favors, we had a moon walk, and a rocket. We had a lot of family there and the boys had a blast with their cousins! It was a great time! Thanks everyone for your help and for coming!
My baby is 5 years old!! Geese time goes by fast look how big he is! Happy Birthday Braxton we love you so much!
Brothers! Brian is going to be going on a mission soon so we had to get one of all the boys together.
My Brother had this nice blow up slide he let us borrow for the party and the kids loved it.
Braxton is not a fan of cake so he told me all he wanted for his cake was a pile of strawberries. So I was trying to think of how I could work in the theme and the only thing I could think of doing was a Mars cake. Braxton was pretty excited about it and of course he did not eat the cake but he ate all the strawberries off it.
Whats a party with out a pinata!
We played a fun alien came were the adults had alien balloons tied on and we armed the kids with toothpicks and they had to destroy the aliens. They loved chasing us around.
These Cute little rockets were fun to make and Braxton was pretty excited about them. I make them out of Ho Ho's, Ding Dongs, Hershey Kiss dipped in frosting and placed on top, Cookies cut up and placed on the bottom. Then M&M's for the windows.

We filled a tent full of white Balloon's for the moon walk and the kids loved playing in there throwing balloons around!

We were not going to do a rocket but Braxton wanted to have a rocket so Kevin went and got a big box and made this for him.

All the cousins enjoying their dinner.
Posted by PicasaBraxton opening his presents, he was spoiled by everyone and loved everything he got. He is really into Transformers again so that is what he got.
