Andrew's Scooby-riffic Fifth Birthday!

 
This cutie pie of a nephew of mine celebrated his fifth birthday over Labor Day weekend.  Andrew is nuts for Scooby Doo, so it only made sense for him to have a Scooby party.
 
Theresa had Scooby everything - Scooby rings in the cupcakes, Scooby fabric on the tables, Scooby stickers on the walls, Scooby favors and balloons, Scooby wrapping paper for presents, even a MYSTERY MACHINE bounce house!!!!
 
This was the hit of the party!  The kids spent practically the whole party in the bounce house! 
We were so happy to see Auntie Cynthia and finally meet Dan.  I know she was thrilled to finally attend a kid birthday party.  Not an easy feat when you live in Boston. 
Theresa also made a super delicious Scooby cake, in addition to the cupcakes. Fresh strawberry filling with white cake and whipped cream frosting. mmm.
 
There was even a Scooby piñata. It was my job to fill it up. I got a little overzealous, I admit it. I stuffed so many goodies in that thing that it was impossible to fit one single more piece of candy inside.  This kind of backfired. The piñata was one of those magic string kind, and when the door popped open, the candy just stayed put because it was smooshed so tightly inside.  whoops, sorry kids. Uncle Tim came to the rescue and solved that problem.  Check it out, there wasn't just candy in this piñata.
 The whole party was a smashing success. But what do you expect with some creative mommies and a crew of TEN adults for set up and tear down?!?
