Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Today we had a Knights and Princess party to celebrate Peter's 6th Birthday. He is not a social bug like my other 3. He has never asked to have a friend over and has a difficult time when other people come over. He is getting better, but is not really interested in others, so this was a big deal. He decided that he wanted to have a dragon birthday party. Making the guest list was a difficult thing. We went through his whole class list and only came up with 3 kids that he wanted to invite (plus Mrs. Hunter, his teacher...he loves her to pieces). I asked about people in his church class, he only wanted Sister Creel. It was very sweet and it warmed both my heart and theirs that this little boy loved them so very much. We finally came up with a list of 11 kids plus two adults. Peter's biggest fear was that no one knew where he lived and that they wouldn't be able to find our house. I reassured him that they would be able to and that I would tell them how to get here. (No one ever asked!!) Invitations were sent out and it turned out that 6 of his little friends were going to come plus Hannah and Joseph made a perfect 8, 4 boys and 4 girls!

We made crowns and then had an obstacle course that included jousting, storming the tower, rescuing a damsel from the dragon, and jumping over the moat. The kids had a lot of fun!

We had a fire breathing dragon for the cake after our banquet of hot dogs, corn on the cob, and cheetos. We then slew the dragon in the form of a piñata! The kids were all smiles and giggles.

Peter was very pleased and was super excited about all of the fun gifts that he got! I think all in all it was a success and we got to meet a couple of his classmates.

I must give most of the credit to familyfun.com , I can copy almost anything but coming up with the ideas is not for me. Why invent the wheel twice!
