Fantastic 4!

We had a wonderful time celebrating Will's fourth birthday last weekend with many of our friends and family! With 17 kids under the age of 5 in the house, it was hilarious!  It was, of course, a construction themed party with all of the birthday boy's favorites!

Chicken!
Tool belt treat bags!
The dump truck cake- complete with Will's favorite malted milk ball boulders.
Tool cupcakes.
Nan made DIRT!  And served it out of the back of a dump truck! So cute- and quite a hit with the kiddos!

Gabe and Ella helping out!
 The house all ready!


The birthday boy!
We set up a workshop of sorts in the basement where the kids did some projects. 
Painting construction sun catchers.
Beading a tool lanyard or bracelet for their tool belt.

Pounding nails into bricks!

Working hard!
Ella!
The other Ella!

Happy birthday buddy!
And the highlight of the day!! Joe called our project manager to get them to park a back hoe in the lot next to ours so the kids could climb on it.  They were SO excited!  Way to go Dad!
Most of the gang...
