I've been a busy little elf working on products to sell at Sprout this season. I just dropped off more Christmas stockings. If you are a Durango local stop by to check it out!

Lego Birthday Party
This might be my favorite kids' party to date- Lego Party! I was thrilled when my oldest requested a Lego party for his sixth birthday. I love all things Lego so I don't know who had more fun- me making the party or my six year old experiencing it. The result was super fun. I think everyone had a great time!
Invites- I designed these to look like a box of Legos and printed them out at home, but I found several super cute ones you can buy on Etsy...
Decorations- Lego head banners made with paint chips and Sharpies, bricks also made from paint chips, lots of crepe paper streamers in primary colors, center piece from XL Lego blocks, and lots of little Legos here and there...
Food: I had a hard time thinking of Lego inspired food- cheese slices to look like bricks were my only thought. For the cake I did cupcakes with chocolate Lego guys using this mold...
Gift Bags: Lego head marshmallow pops (how-to found here), stickers, and a mystery Lego mini figure pack...
Games: The kids mostly just wanted to run around outside, but some of them did spend some time playing Legos set out on the kids' old train table. I also printed out coloring and dot-to-dot pages from the Lego sight...
Instead of cleaning up after the kids left I sat around building with all of I's new Legos. Hooray! Maybe He'll want another Lego party next year...
