Brother's Birthday Party

I found a lost post! I had uploaded these pictures so that I could come back later and write about them, and then I forgot! What a bad mommy I am... Oh well...

Anyways, here are the pictures of Brother's birthday party. He picked the Military theme and it was pretty fun. We have a good friend that works at a nearby military base and he was able to bring over an "official" military vehicle for the kids to look at (and hopefully learn something from).

Brother trying on the helmet.
I don't think that Bugs was as excited as Brother was. Must be a boy thing...
Brother with "Sargent Chad"
Sargent Chad kicked off the "Top Secret Mission" / scavenger hunt by passing out everyone's dog tags and giving them their first clue. Each clue led to a different clue until they received something that would help them with their mission to "capture the enemy flag". They received helpful things such as helmets-for their safety, compass-to guide them, and so on. Before one of the "Sargent's" would give them their next clue, she made them "give her 20!" The kids really wanted that clue she was holding!
Looked like the clue paid off! Overall, I think the game was a success as it looked like the kids had fun.

Brother with his camouflage star cake. Doesn't look too shabby if I must say so myself. However, I cannot take any credit in decorating it. It was done by Daddy and two of his cousins. By the time we were decorating it the night before, I was extremely tired and told them to do whatever they wanted. I of course gave them some tips, but they didn't listen to me at all. I guess they may have been right...

Happy Birthday Brother!
