Jamin's Angry Bird Birthday Party




Party Plan:
1. Golden Egg Hunt - Get the golden eggs back from those naughty pigs!
We had this in Tegan's room and Jamin hid the eggs all around her room. Most of them were in her giant doll house. They were each suppose to find one egg and move on to the next game. Unfortunately they were all gone before the last two party people showed up. Oops. Apparently, Jamin told a couple of his friends that there were extras.

2. Angry Birds live =)
The target - the goal was to knock over all the pigs.
The ammunition - everyone got a turn to shoot the three birds. Some used the sling shot and some found it too difficult, so they just threw them.
3. Pin the Bird on the Slingshot!
4. Hide Away From Bird(Hide and Seek Go Tag) or Stay Away From Bird(Marco Polo)
They voted for Stay Away From Bird. These were both probably a bad idea with not having the party outside. Even though we have a big space in the basement, I had our bouncer out which takes up a lot of space. And nine and ten year old boys are crazy!
5. Craft - Make your own bird

6. Food - pizza and chips and stuff

They were hungry boys. We had five large pizzas and they ate all but one piece. Pretty impressive, I think.
7. Presents
He got all kinds of cool stuff, but I thought this was the cutest picture of him.

8. Cake and ice-cream - cupcakes w/ angry bird toppers




9. Pig Piñata
The awesome pig piñata that Jamin and I made. I was totally proud of myself. Jamin made the crown and cut out the other stuff. He worked really hard on his party. =) He did the invitations, made the pigs for Angry Birds Live, and came up with most of the ideas for the party. My job was to implement those ideas. Luckily, I found lots of websites to help figure out how to do these things. (Found at bottom of page.)
Matthew held it while they hit it. Brave man. I used something fairly soft for the stick. It's a good thing too. Those boys had some power.

Goodbye piñata...

Hello candy and crazy boys!
10. Bouncer and whatever else they wanted until parents came to pick up kids.

It was a pretty crazy party, but I think the kids had lots of fun. I was ready for the parents to come at the end. =) Overall, a success.
