Jonah turns 6

Jonah celebrated his sixth year with kindergarten and neighbor friends.  He chose Lego themed minute-to-win-it games.
 The kids filled their own bag with a variety of snacks - some lego colored, some not.  
 Jonah chose a lemon cake with strawberry filling and lemon frosting - with candy Lego decorations!

 Each kid took a turn guessing how many legos were in this container - Ryan guessed 40, which was closest to the actual count of 65.
 Lego coloring pages were a popular filler activity - even if some of the morphed into paper airplanes.
 Each box, wrapped like a Lego, contained 1-6 bells.  The kids had one minute to put them in proper order.  It's much harder than it sounds!  Braeden was the only one to get it in perfect order.
 Jonah standing with the party favors - Lego shaped boxes contained Lego candy and bouncy balls.
 The object of this game was to bounce ping pong balls into the bowl.  The kid who bounced the most in (Will, 8) won.

 Jada shakes the boxes to determine the order. 

 Ryan takes a turn - so close!

 Jonah's up
 Lou's turn
 Michael also got close!  Thanks again to Braeden and Michael for helping me to take pictures.

 Junk in the Trunk.  The object is to shake the ping pong balls out of the empty tissue box in under a minute.  The fastest wins.  Breakdancing did the trick!
 Jada shakes it!
 Ryan shakes it!
 These three just danced to silly music.
 This was the last game the kids played - just before cake.  They used their straw and suction to move the legos from the plate to the cup.  The object was to move the most in a minute.  





 The big moment - these kids know some good Happy Birthday renditions!
 Opening gifts from his friends.  Boy, do they know him well - he was a happy camper!
