We decided to have some of his friends over for little birthday party. We decorated cupcakes which Mason had been waiting for since I made them the day before.

I had to grab the cupcake from him in between each time I went to get frosting or put on different sprinkles. We sang to him and then he blew out the candle; it's a good thing we didn't have trick candles because it took him 3 or 4 times to blow out the one candle we put on his cupcake. He loved his cupcake, he mostly just ate the frosting off the top.

Mason opened a couple presents while people were finishing off their cupcakes, he loved them. He got a car with tools, and a set of tonka constructions trucks.

The kids had a great time running around inside and playing. We also set out some paper bags they decorated and colored, then headed outside for the pinata!

We kept the pinata a surprise and were so happy to see his reaction when we had the bat and told him to hit it. We had him go first and hit it a few times, he got a couple really good whacks in. We let everyone else have a turn hitting it, most of the kids kinda swung at the pinata but didn't really hit it great or didn't care to hit it more than once.

After everyone had gone we let Mason loose on it. He was having a great time and finally hit the front wheel off, it didn't have candy in that compartment so I tore open the middle and shook the candy out for the kids to get.

Mason was so excited and just wanted to open the first piece he found, I had to explain that he could pick up as much as he could get and put in his bag, after a couple seconds he figured it out.

We had a great time talking with friends and Mason was so happy having his friends over and has already asked for them to come play more. Thanks everyone for coming!

After his friend party we headed over to John and Debbie's for dinner and cake with the family. We had pizza which is Mason's favorite. We gave him a little bit of rootbeer which he hasn't really had before and he liked it but would shake after every sip and tell us it was 'spicy'. Then he opened his presents.

He got a Baymax, a big triceratops, a couple books, new clothes, a stuffed t-rex, Avenger toys, money, hulk boots and ninja turtles. He made out with a pretty good haul and was in heaven opening all his presents.

After we pulled him away from his new stuff we sang to him and ate cake. I decided to be adventurous and do a character cake. I made sure I gave myself plenty of time to make it so I wouldn't be stressed and it was a good thing, because it took me 2 hours, but it was totally worth it.
