One of my favorite go to friends for suggestions (Kat) brilliantly posted on Pinterest an idea for me.... ANGRY BIRDS!!!!
First the Sling Shot...... it was not as simple as we thought. It took a while to make it work, but once it did the kids had a blast shooting tennis balls with angry bird faces attached!
This is what they were aiming for .....
and
I made these and decided to fill them with the loot bags. I always hate to see someone upset when they don't get anything or what they think is enough out of a pinata so each bag had a name and each child got a bag. Not as many hurt feelings at the end. My hope was that they would be able to open these with the tennis balls but it proved to be much more challenging, so we moved onto the old fashioned blind fold and stick. Didn't take long! We covered some boxes with craft wrapping paper so that we could make the tower just like the Angry Birds game but what ended up being the most fun was riding the zip line through the boxes. They became the Angry Birds!
Time for the cake....
A special Thank you to Kat for helping with this cake, we realized that night that we had actually been decorating and preparing for Nuno's birthday together for 10 years! I couldn't do it without her. She keeps me moving until 1 am!
Fun with family and friends.
Our very own Angry Birds.
Last but not least a few of the decorations. What I didn't realize until that day is that we had chicken nuggets (angry birds) and mini ham and cheese sliders (green pigs) for the main snacks! Not intentional but fun that it turned out that way.
It was a great day with our friends and family, perfect weather, tons of fun, and most importantly got the chance to celebrate two exceptional boys, Nuno and Rui. Happy Birthday Boys!!
