Baseball Birthday Mania






Today was the big party for my 5 year old...where has the time gone. It went wonderfully and I think everyone had a great time. Since being on a little league team he has been obsessed with baseball so he had a "awesome" time. We had the party at his preschool, so there was plenty for everyone to do (even for the younger siblings). I made the baseball bean bag toss (see this post), filled a water table with water and toys, and of course the pinata (which was quite fitting since it was a baseball party). For the cake I make baseball cake pops following instructions from bakerella. I think they turned out pretty well considering it was my first time and I am not a fabulous baker. For the favors I made Angels baseball backpacks. As always I forgot a few things (the candles), but the birthday boy had a great time which was all I really cared about.

Home Run!




I wanted to come up with a few games for the baseball birthday party. One idea I had was a bean bag toss game. Fortunately, my neighbor has a huge saw and some left over wood to make it for me. We set it up today and the boys loved it. It should keep everyone at the party occupied for a while. I plan on painting some baseball stripes on the sides and giving "points" for each hole (1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, home run, grand slam).
