The show-stopper was this cake made by our friend, Cara.
Next, we added LOTS of family and friends.
Cooper
Travis and Sabrina
Grandma and Abby
Grandpa with Abby
The girls with their buddy, Makenna.
Every boy that Grant invited from his 3rd/4th grade class came, along with some siblings.
First, the kids decorated rubber shurikens, and then they used them to hit "bad guy" targets.
After that, everyone ate, and then Grant blew out the candles on his cake.
Next, the kids dug through popcorn with chopsticks to find little ninjas. Those little guys got added to their favor bags. Here Caleb S. and Jeremiah are on the hunt, while Josiah, Adam, Caleb A., Austin, Liam and Leo are looking on.
Here Grant and Liam are going head-to-head to see who can find the most ninjas while Viktor and Johanna cheered them on.
I had forgotten about the t-shirt ninja masks until right before we were getting ready to do the pinata. So, what better time to have everyone put them on, right?
Grant got ready to hit the skeleton pinata......
and...knocked it down in one hit. Bummer! The kids still enjoyed collecting all the goodies!
The Ninjas
Look! There I am....see, I really was there!
Cory, Ms. Wendy with Ryker, Master Koch and Johanna watching the kids run around and play basketball.

Caleb A. and Viktor looking for fish.
By this time, the friends from Grant's school had left since their parent's had come to pick them up. There were still some friends, and all the family there to watch him open his presents. Wouldn't you guess that he go A LOT of Lego's!
It was a great party!
