Happy Angry Birdsday To You!

Clear back in January, Devin decided he wanted to have an Angry Birds party for his birthday. So after months of planning and preparation, November came and we finally threw Devin his party.


First there was an Angry Birds photo booth set up on the front porch equipped with pig ears, pig noses, angry eyebrows, feathers, and beaks.
Everyone got to wear an Angry Bird party hat.
That I made by adding feathers and faces to some plain colored party hats
We decorated with birds, block towers, and nests all in red, yellow, green, and blue like the Angry Birds themselves.
We had a variety of "Bird" and "Pig" food for everyone to eat.
With pig tails and feathers on the name tags to match.
Birds Food: Sour worms, chocolate eggs, TNT popcorn bags, and fruit skewers
Pigs Food: Ham sandwiches, pigs in a blanket, chocolate pig snouts, mud cake, and cheeto twisted puffs pig tails
As everyone arrived they filled out a "Do You Know The Birthday Bird" questionnaire about Devin.
Points were awarded for closest and funniest answers. 
Next was the building game. We split the group up into teams and gave each team a stack of newspapers and a roll of masking tape.
Then they had 15 minutes to try and build the tallest freestanding tower out of the materials.
The winning team with their tower.
And for the grand finale of the party we headed to the backyard for the life size Angry Birds game. 
The teams took turns setting up the boxes and firing the slingshot. 
Here's a video clip that Devin got of one of the best shots of the day.
We finished off the party with singing Happy Birthday to Devin and eating cupcakes that were decorated to look like Angry Birds.
As the guests left the party we gave them their photo booth picture and a party favor of seeds and a slingshot. To thank them for "crashing" Devin's party. 
What made this party the best was everyone who took time out of their busy holiday weekend to came celebrate Devin! 
I know that he is loved by so many people! 

Love you Devin! Happy 22nd!
