The Party!

D chose a basketball theme for his party.  So, we went with the Mavs...they were the champions after all!!

 A blue basketball cake was the request...

 This was our first friends' party.  D invited 5 boys so including him, we had a total of 6 boys over for the party. They began by decorating Team Jerseys.

 The girls got to decorate as well.

 Then each boy made a team pennant.

 Coach's Playbook tic-tac-toe.  We divided the boys into teams and they had to strategize together as they played tic-tac-toe.

 Training camp was next.

 Uniform dress-up relay.  The boys had to put on shorts, shirt and shoes, all quite big on them and make it down around a cone and back so the next player could go.

 Ball between the legs...this is much harder than it looks but very funny to watch!

 Of course, a basketball party is not complete without a shoot-around.

 Pinata observers...waiting for their turn for a chance to hit the basketball pinata.

 Then it was a battle for the candy.

 Lunch was quickly eaten as the time had gotten away from us.

We finished up the party with cake and ice cream!!!
