Cohen's Captain America party.

When my son, Cohen, was turning 6, he had to have a Captain America birthday party. It was really fun to plan it and see it come to fruition. My sister, Jaime, took this photo below and turned it into the awesome birthday invitation.  We played a lot of games outside and had different stations the kids rotated to also.   Pass the Kryptonite, like Hot Potato:  Spider Web game -- this one was a tad tricky to get everyone undone afterwards.   One of the stations was "mighty  minds" where the kids had to guess how many gumballs were in the jar.

Aren't they beautiful?  This is the fabric flower garland that now hangs on Avery's bedroom wall. I love the colors and feel of it.  The food table.  The dessert table. I wanted everything to be covered in sprinkles.  I set up a table for guests to paint a wood alphabet block
