The 2013 Winter OlympSIX!

We paired up again with Evan and added Jerel to the mix this year to triple the birthday party fun!  (Evan's birthday is Dec. 18; Brady's is Dec. 20; and Jerel's is Dec. 27.)  Interestingly, I didn't do as much planning and prep for this party as I did for the kindergarten Winter Party.  hmm....
Regardless, it was a Super Fun time!  We rented out the "big room" at Open Arms (for a steal- thanks for hooking us up Ms. Nikki!) and it was Perfect!  All the kids ever want to do is run around and play with their friends in "big room," so to tell them they had Three Hours to do so was Awesome!

Mimi and I made all the party-goers (and Brett and I) Olympic shirts the night before.  They came out cuter than I thought- with a sort of retro look.  We didn't get a great fam foto, but the tees are pretty awesome!

We had some organized games.  First the kids colored and grabbed stickers to decorate their bobsleds (cardboard boxes which sat on sleds) and decorated their gold medals.  Then we had bobsled races- Hilarious (and an awesome energy burn and fun time)!  Next we put tissue boxes on their feet and they did some speed-skating.  Then we quasi-luged using Mr. Leon's scooter boards.  SO fun!

 uh oh!  We have a speed-skater down!  Sorry Colton!

Then the competitors refueled (with the water bottles we gave them), mac n cheese, hotdogs, Olympic ring fruit- Susan had a tray of every color...so pretty and festive (and healthy)!

Despite the fact that today is the first day of winter, it's almost 70 degrees out!  Say what?!  So we also got some playground time too!  We sang to the birthday boys and had the awesome Olympic torch cupcakes that Kristin made outside.  Could not have ordered up a more perfect day and setting!!!

For these two shorties, it's all about the goodie bags.

Our Gold Medalists!
