Night at the Movies

For Hyrum's birthday party this year we did a Movie Theater. I was looking for a simple but fun birthday party and this fit the bill. The kids were given invitations to the party that looked like movie tickets. The kids were told to bring their movie tickets when they came to the party. We rented Cars 2 from Redbox to show at the party.I must say, the house looked fantastic! We laid out our red skinny carpet out in front of the house for the kids to walk along the red carpet. Before they came inside, they saw the sign that I made which said "Welcome to Hyrum's Movie Theater." As the kids came through the front door, we punched their movie tickets (invitations). We had white Christmas lights lining the hallway to the living room. The kids had to walk through long streamers to come into the theater (living room).

While we were waiting for everyone to arrive, the kids did a word search of movie titles. Once the movie started, we called the children back one by one to go through the concession stand line after we had punched their movie ticket again. I think the kids thought the concession treats were awesome and came back many times during the movie. What Lucy did during the party.After the movie was over, we sang Happy Birthday to Hyrum and watched as he blew a candle out in the awesome cupcake that Brandon made. Brandon made the cupcakes look like popcorn. I thought he did an amazing job like always. Since the kids had a lot of treats at our house, we decided that they could take their cupcake home and their parents could decide when they could eat it.To finish the night, Hyrum opened his presents. Hyrum was completely spoiled by his friends and received many fun and exciting new things.

We are so lucky to have so many great friends out here in Memphis. Thanks again to everyone who came to help celebrate our Handsome Hyrum.
