Benji's Minecraft Party

Benji decided he wanted his birthday party to be Minecraft-themed this year. The good news was that there are TONS of ideas for this type of party on the internet. The bad news was it was a crazy busy week to get any of those ideas put together. We ended up setting up for the party Friday afternoon because we knew we would be busy and then we spent Saturday morning on the cake and last minute details:

Cake walk prizes

Crafting station prizes

Goody bags, all ready to go

Brewing station #1

Brewing station #2

Party food

Alex and Sophia drove down from Herndon for the day, which was a special treat for Benji, who was so excited to have Sophia at the party:

We played a little Villager, Villager, Wolf (Duck, Duck, Goose) outside while we waited for the guests to arrive:

And then segued into the planned activities:

Crafting Station scavenger hunt

Cake Walk

 Whew! We'll need some time to recover from this one.
