Max's Birthday Presents!!

After the birthday party we came home to open some PRESENTS!! These were Max's gifts from Mommy, Daddy, and Emery!
And these were all his gifts from his party guests (family and friends)!

Time to open, open, and OPEN!!

So excited to get Sully and Mike!! These were from his good buddy Cooper!
Max really loved his special made card from his buddy Alex!! Too cute!!

Max's sweet friend Christian got him the lab set he was wanting!! So FUN!!
OH WOW!!! (he screams) Max's good buddy Sawyer hooked him up with a flag football game!! 

A big THANKS to Grandmother and Granddaddy for more TOY STORY toys!! 
Time to open gifts from Mommy, Daddy and Em!!
Loving some new RANGERS shirts!!
Yay for Memphis basketball jersey!! Max said "Thank you Mommy! Thank you Daddy!"

Oh WOW!! A BUZZ!! 
A big thanks to Jennifer for passing this Buzz robot down to Max! It is pretty AWESOME!!


The one toy he REALLY REALLY wanted!! He gave it a kiss when he took it out of the bag! Such a silly boy!! He has really wanted the Toy Story Claw and Pizza Planet. Thanks to Nana and Pawpaw he got the Pizza Planet too! One LUCKY kiddo!!

AWESOME!! Thanks Mommy and Daddy!! Max said thanks after each gift he opened!!! 
ALRIGHT!! Some LEGOS!!
Max was PUMPED about the legos Emery picked out for him. Emery had told me she wanted to get Max a spiderman for his birthday but then when I took her to Target she decided she wanted to pick out her OWN gift to give him. I think she picked up about 15 different things and would put one back up when she found another and so forth. She found the legos starter case and she said she was DONE! 
Lots of GOODIES!! Only duplicate was the lab set. We ended up taking that back and Max got a little sports lego set. 
SO BLESSED!! Max got some really nice things from his friends and family!! From Max's mouth "It was the BEST day EVER!!" (melts my heart!!)
It was REALLY LATE when we were done with gifts. Everyone was exhausted so we told Max he could pick one toy to play with before bed. He picked his Claw and squinkies. I think he would have stayed up all night playing with it too ;)
All in all a WONDERFUL day!! I can honestly say Max had a FABULOUS 5th Birthday!! God is sooo GOOD!!

Max's Birthday Party Part 2

Max isn't much of a pizza guy so we opted for the hotdogs and chips. He doesn't eat hotdogs either but does love ketchup and pickles on a hotdog bun. Yummmm-y! Anyways, I threw on a few pizzas to so we would have plenty of food for the kids, my fam, and the parentals!

Max was the FIRST to DIG in!! Yea BOY!!
We had a little fighting over who sat next to the Birthday Boy!! So sweet! Max let Em sit next to him first. Goodness, that melted my heart when he choose his sister over his friends. I hope that stays like that!!

Cooper REALLY wanted to sit next to Max too so we asked Em to move over and sit with the few girls that were there and she happily said SURE! She loves her some Cooper too!!

The YUMMY cupcakes!! We made strawberry cupcakes which were the red wrappers and we made funfetti white which were the blue wrappers!


Singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Max was soaking it in!!


One...Two...Three....and BLOW THEM OUT!!

Now to ENJOY the BEST part!! His fave STRAWBERRY cake!!

Em's FAVE was the ICING!! "Cheeeee-ssseeeee!"

I got a halfway decent photo of most of the group by telling them to line up together and I would give them a game card to play in the arcade. With the bowling party all the party guests get a $5 dollar game card so the kiddos were very ready to PLAY some games!! However, Alex and Christian were so excited that they had already ran off to play ;)

Like I said Alex and Christian (pictured below) were READY to play!! Love it!

Fruit NINJA!! So FUN!!




Max and Cooper had a BIG time playing some hockey! The $5 bucks went quick but it was totally worth it! All the kiddos enjoyed the game cards!!
Love the boys expressions in these two pics! They were having so much fun!!
We finished up with games and all the kiddos headed out. Nana and Pawpaw wanted to see Max open his gift from them so we decided to just let him open it at the bowling alley before we left.

Max had been waiting to open that REALLY BIG box!! Em was just as excited. "Max whatcha get?!" "Max, what is it?" "Max, let me help you!"


Nana and Pawpaw got him The Toy Story Pizza Planet Imaginext toy!! One of the few things Max asked for his birthday!! He squealed and said "Thank you Nana and Pawpaw!! I LOVE it!!"
He also got a Toy Story book and a cute little sports dry erase board!
Emery's party favor ;) I didn't figure she would want bowling pins so I grabbed her a Sofia necklace. She was very happy about it!!
We chatted a little and cleaned up and then headed to the house to OPEN PRESENTS!!!
We were so BLESSED to share Max's bday with some sweet sweet family and friends! God is so GOOD! We want to send a shout out to our friends and fam for making it so wonderful for Max!! Seriously couldn't have done it without you guys!! We were missing a few peeps but we know you guys were there in spirit!!
