World Cup Birthday Celebration

Last Saturday, we celebrated Peanut's 12th birthday. The party centered around the World Cup Game, USA vs. England. Talk about an easy party.

We got a shower curtain and went to town making a sign for the yard. Peanut had fun with the spray paint. I, on the other hand, got bit by a mosquito square in the middle of my forehead.

Here is the finished product drying overnight on the backyard fence.
We attached the sign to some polls with the hope of displaying it in the front yard. The wind was too strong and we had to move it.
We even decorated inside over the mantle. The decorations will remain to cheer on the USA! We gave the kids Uncle Sam hats.

Here is the sign in its safe location. All the guests got to see it as they entered the front door.
Who knew so many boys wanted to help Peanut blow out his candles.
He was fending the guys off during the round of Happy Birthday.
He blew them out so fast that I did not even get to capture it on camera.
At half time, I coaxed them all outside for a photo. I took a few. Peanut is going to use one for his thank yous. If you look closely, Buddy is looking out the front door. He wanted to join in on the fun.
I still can't believe Peanut is 12! He had a blast with the guys. He got three tshirts associated with the World Cup. He is so excited to wear them while the teams are playing. And, the fact the game ended in a tie made it worthwhile. Go USA!

We finally got DVR. The big guy's recorded the games. There is lots of soccer viewing going on in this house!!
