Ninja Turtle Party

Shelby decided months before her birthday that she wanted to have a Ninja Turtle Birthday party.  I the fact that she had a tea party last year and now a Ninja Turtle party this year describes her perfectly.  She can be super girly but loves boy stuff, getting dirty and anything creepy. She wanted me to take a picture of her turtle earrings.  (They aren't green, but she was happy about it)  She also wore her Ninja Turtle necklace we got at Comic Con.

 We reserved the Community Center in our apartment complex.  It was perfect for what we needed.  If you look close below, you can see the reflection of Jeffy.  He's always so helpful when it comes to parties and takes care of so many details.  It isn't why the girls invite him, but I sure do appreciate the extra help!

 We had a pin the pizza in Mikeys mouth game

 Shelby wanted cheese pizza because that's Mikeys favorite (And honestly the only kind she'll eat) as well as Orange Crush because he references it in the new movie.

 There was enough room at the table for Odessa to be a part of the party

 Davisson, Emi, Naomi, Kenzley, Brinley, Chloe and Brayden all came to help celebrate.  For the first time ever, every child invited came!

 The blindfold for the game was Leo's mask. Here's Shelby

 Kenzley didn't want to play which was totally fine.  Brinley won and the prize was the DVD of Ninja Turtles for her to take home and enjoy!

 We gave all the kids a Ninja Turtle blanket to snuggle up in while we watched a few episodes of the old cartoon.  We downloaded it on iTunes and it brought back so many memories from when I was a kid.

 After it was over and everyone went home, Megans family and Jeffy stayed to help clean up.  Odessa was so cute as she swept.  :)

I was a little worried about all the girls enjoying the party, but it seemed that everybody had a great time.  It was exactly what Shelby wanted and that's what matters! I think my favorite part of the party might have been when I asked Shelby how she would want her hair and she replied "In a ponytail because Ninjas can get a little crazy!"  I was so happy to have easy hair to do instead of spending my morning straightening and fussing with her hair.
