Mario Party!

Elijah has a little friend who's birthday is the day after his. So his mom came up with this fabulous Mario and Luigi party for them since they are obsessed with playing the Mario video game. Here they are in their Mario and Luigi oitfits for the party. They were still a little nervous and unsure about this whole thing at this point.
These are the Yoshi eggs I made from real eggs emptied out and filled with confetti. They threw them at stars on the house. Our backyard will forever glitter and shine. Yoshi even made an appearance.

If ever you're in trouble - just bubble. My friend Julie (the other birthday boys mom) came up with lots of cute ideas. They went to several stations and collected coins just like in the game. At each station was a question box just like in the game as well. These are the power up cupcakes I decorated to look like the red and green power up and extra life mushrooms in the game. They all got to chase down Bowser and save the princess. Here is Eli trying his hand at the Yoshi egg pinata that Julie made. A fun time was had by all. Here they are wearing the Mario and Luigi hats I made for all the boys who came.
As you can see they are feeling a little more jovial by now.
