Olympic Birthday Party

For my son's 7th birthday he wanted an Olympic themed party!!  It was so much fun!!  

When the kids arrived we had them make their Country flags, and did the march of the athletes to some fun Olympic music!  Of course my son held the Olympic torch at the front of the line!  

Then we did our Olympic games!  Each event had a sign like this to make it feel official! 

We did the Javelin (throw a water squirter as far as you can!) 

Shot Put- (Throw a Bocce Ball or any heavy ball... as far as you can!)

We did the Long Jump

Soccer Shoot Out

Other games... 4X100 Relay, Hurdles, Basketball, and a 100 Meter Dash!

And finally it was time for the Medals Ceremony!  We had each child stand on the podium!  Then my son award them all with a Gold Medal!

Then it was time to dig into the treats!

Gold Medals: Vanilla Oreo's with Fruit By The Foots!

Olympic Torches: Ice Cream Cones filled with Cheetos

Olympic Rings: Donuts!

Instead of having the kids bring birthday presents, we asked each of them to bring sporting equipment to donate to Camp Kesem!  My kids have more then enough toys, so we decided to pay it forward.  Camp Kesem was so grateful for our donations!  Nothing better then giving.

Bubble Gum Birthday Party

My daughter is obsessed with gum.  So for her 4th birthday we did a Bubblegum party!  It was so much fun!

I had her hold a little balloon in her mouth for a bubblegum picture for the invitation

Made these fun yet easy cupcakes!  Here's how; Make cupcakes.  Frost with white frosting, and put M &M's on for the "gum."  Turn an ice cream cone upside down, put a skewer through it, and slide the cupcake sideways onto the skewer.  Add a little M&M on the cone with frosting for the last touch! 

Decorate with pictures, gumballs, gumball machines, and your cupcakes of course!

Pin the quarter on the gumball machine was a hit!  We also had a bubble blowing contest!

This party would be fun for almost any age!!
