And thanks to a snow/ice day here in Plano, I have time to post all of these pictures! We had some thundersleet last night in the DFW area. I had never heard the term "thundersleet" before last night. But it's real! Crazy stuff!
It was a Minecraft party!
We had the party yesterday at our church (again).
Blue, green, and brown cupcakes. With swords, bows & arrows, and pickaxes.
Favors included Minecraft "crayon" blocks and a sword keychain. Thank you, Etsy.com.
a TNT piñata
Steve and Creepy held balloons.
Lots of scooter-riding in the gym!
Ben still fits! AND, left-hand side of the photo, we have a party crasher. It seems as though this has happened before... :) I think we had a party crasher two years ago, as well. We must throw some good parties because our crashers stay and enjoy the entertainment, cupcakes, and drinks. :)
Walker sweetly brought this scooter over to his friend Evan. :) Evan didn't want to ride, and that was okay. But I was proud of Walker for being sweet and thinking of his friend.
Cousin Tom liked the tire scooter! :)
The girls...Walker was very "anti-girl" for his party this year. Aside from his cousins, he "allowed" five girls to attend: Kaitlyn and Camryn (Brayden's sisters), Allyson (Evan's sister), Morgan (who is like a sister to him), and Lainey (his own sister).
sweet Camryn
They all LOVE these scooters.
Pretty sure Evan is kicking this ball towards Ben. They developed a new bond yesterday! :)
These next few pictures are funny. The girls would crowd in this little alcove and conspire. The boys would swarm in around them....then they'd all disperse. Who knows what they were doing. But I'm pretty confident the girls were telling those boys what to do.
"Everyone, point your foot."

The girls...hiding in the empty party room from "the four-year-olds" who are actually mostly five-year-olds. :)
After everyone had a turn, Walker tried to bust the piñata! And it didn't bust. I think Ben finally dealt the final blow. :)
And then this happened!
Initially, he said that he was sad because there weren't any "big pieces...only little pieces." But later he told me that he cried because he was "too slow to get the candy." Once the piñata broke open, everyone rushed to grab the candy that fell to the floor and I think Walker got overwhelmed so he hung back a bit. When he realized what was happening and what he was missing, he just started crying!
Lots of crying and some wailing. Poor Buddy. Lesson learned. Piñatas can cause tears.
I'm pretty sure that Walker has cried at some point during every single one of his five birthday parties.
But then...everyone started giving him their candy. Lainey, too. No one wanted to see him sad. It was really sweet!
All smiles again.
Awkward face during "Happy Birthday." :) I mean. Who doesn't have an awkward face when that song is sung to you?
Serious!
The box heads were a big hit. Brayden is on the left. Beckett is on the right.
Good thing the party is pretty much over at this point! Walker developed a blister under his toe from riding his scooter. It was maybe the size of a pencil's eraser. But judging from his level of pain, you might have thought his toe had just been amputated. While Lainey has a pain tolerance of about -5, Walker has a pain tolerance of -10.
OH so sad. :( Thankfully he's a bit better. Bath time was a bear, but he's happy that he "can walk on it." Well, whew. Making progress. The struggle is real. With blisters, that is! :)
***
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PARTY, Walker! We hope you had fun despite your piñata drama and your blister! Thank you to everyone for coming out to celebrate with us...especially in the cold and rainy weather! :)
