...That was on Saturday the eve of the Party... Then Sunday, June the 15th, actually dawned. The sun got up, the clouds vanished, flags were unfurled and the fun began.
The decorated party pavilion
Meerkat delight at running outside to see all the decorations that were put up.
Thor Corn Flakes for breakfast, with a side of bacon
Seimi confided in a whisper, Lee's favorite Avenger is Hulk. For those who haven't met him, Lee is Doggy Lee, Seimi's best buddy blanket.
After church, the last of the food was prepared.
Behold the grandeur of Avenger hors d'ouvres:
- Captain America Shield veggies (jicama and bell peppers)
- Bifrost fruit skewers (multi-dimensional rainbow bridge - this fruit can take you places)
- Hawkeye Arrow veggies (long veggies)
The main course was Mediterranean themed (from the end of the Avengers movie)
Paleo hummus
Chicken shawarma - if faced with the challenge, it's worth fighting a battle to save a major metropolis if you get to sit down for shawarma afterward!
Paleo brownies for dessert
The food was ready, the decorations were done, and there was just waiting...
...photobombing
...and a quick nap in a tiny patch of shade by the feral birthday boy.
Guests arrive, and the fun commences!
There are not many pictures of the boys because they were running around like madmen. Everyone had to try all the costume combinations!
Eejee in his Hulk jammies
Ela, of course, held still to pose for a picture
Time for presents!
Making a wish!
The aftermath of a wonderful birthday for an amazing boy.
