CandyLand Birthday Party!!!!!

Megan's 4th Birthday!

Megan chose a Candyland theme for her birthday this year and we loved it! I searched the internet for ideas and came up with a lot on our own. We were able to create an awesome cake to look like the game board. When it was time to eat the cake everyone wanted a different part...except for Mr Mint, no one wanted him!

Notice Megan looking out of Candy Castle!

Megan and Mommy with the cake. She couldn't keep her eyes off of it! She helped bake the night before but that was it, everything was a surprise!

Outside we (my mom and I) created a life-size Candyland for the kids! The first station was Lord Licorice (aka Michael). To pass this station the kids had to beam Michael with a water balloon! Unfortunately we didn't think to take a big picture of the whole thing from the deck!

Here is another picture of Lord Licorice.

At Mr. Plumpy (which apparently is no longer a character in Candyland) the kids (and Norm!) had to pick a balloon and sit on it to pop it. Inside they found a pixi stick.

At Mr. Mint the kids had to wrap an adult in red and white crete paper to make new candycane trees! Luke wrapped Jon and his girlfriend Laura up together!

In the background of this picture you can see Mr. Mint's area. It was the best one complete with 3 Christmas trees and 4 pool noodle candy canes!

After Mr. Mint the kids continued on to Gumdrop Mountains which I didn't take a picture of! After that they continued on the game until they got to Princess Lolly. They had a great time picking a lollipop out of her head!

In the background you can kind of see Gumdrop Mountains! This station was Queen Frostine and they had to fish for a balloon. Apparently we put the balloons out too soon because it was hot and they kept popping!

Here is Gloppy. They had to dig through the pea gravel to find treasure! Gloppy even had a red tongue sticking out! The finale was making it to Candy Castle where they had to climb up and go down the slide and get a goody bag! Overall it was a huge success and Megan had a blast. She was so excited that 2 of her friends came too! This would not have been possible without my mom's help...and Michael's!
