A BIG party!

We had Paxton's big five year old party this past weekend and it was BIG! You know how you start off looking to find something small and inexpensive and then, well it justs gets bigger and bigger until you have 20 kids plus their parents attending! But nevertheless, it was a lot of fun. We choose mini golf because Paxton loves to hit balls with his daddy and we thought this would be fun for all the kids. It was a glow in the dark mini golf place. Everything from the clubs to the balls to the course, even your clothes glowed in the dark. Super fun!

We kind of just let the kids have at it when they all got there. We had the place mostly to ourselves and so parents just kind of followed their kids around letting them swing the club and shoot for the hole. Paxton really enjoyed it and it was a relaxed kind of atmosphere. He did tire of it after about 45 minutes so we gathered all the kids to have a little Transformer party! Paxton has wanted to do the Transformer party for a while (no we haven't seen the movie, nor did he own a Transformer before this party!). So we went all out with the cups, plates, decor and cake in Transformers. I think he really liked it and had fun with the whole theme. Oh and now he owns a whole army or fleet or whatever they call it of Transformers thanks to his sweet friends.

Thankfully the party only lasted an hour a half, very appropriate timing in my opinion. Paxton was dying to get home to open his gifts, we wouldn't let him open them there because it was dark, it was crazy and you never know what a five year old is going to say about a gift! Anyway, we all had a blast with his friends and all the family. Thanks to everyone who made my little man's day by coming out and celebrating with us!

We were so lucky that the Duncans were in town from Tennessee! Spencer and Aidyn got to come and play a little golf with us! I love Spencer's "pose" here!

This is Maren, Lorelei's friend and Beckham's little sister. They were so cute playing golf together. They would take the balls right to the hole and then hit it in. Hilarious!

Sweet beautiful girls, EmmaClaire and OletaKate!

Mr. Bryce loved chasing the ball around!

Kind of blurry but wanted to show this pic of two cousins Addie and Emilie. Lifelong friends of Paxton!

Future LPGA?

Here is what it looked like in the mini golf place. I only took one pic with the flash on because it would be way to blurry otherwise.

Paxton loved this particular hole, trying to get the ball to go around this tunnel.

Even Reed came out for the festivities!

Birdie!

TJ swinging it for a hole in one!

Luke checking out his put.

Aidyn stopped to pose for us like her big bro Spencer did!

As you can see, Grandaddy was highly entertained!

Everyone wanted to sit next to the birthday boy!

Looks like he is about to jump in it!
Paxton wanted five candles on his cake, not the number "five" candle.

Paxton is pleased with the cake, whew!
