I didn't get a lot of good pictures, it is hard to run a party with 16 boys and take pictures at the same time. About a month before his party he had made a list of people to invite. He was the captain of one team and Kaden the other. They made their line up and which position each kid was playing. This was revised many times. The boys were very cooperative, there were no fights or arguments about plays. We played a game for about 1 hour. Then it was on to the home run derby. Each kid got 3 chances to hit the ball over the fence (from second base) Tanner was the only one who did it. So we did round two, one other kid did it also so they got first prize. Kevin made me do it, and I showed those boys up I got it over on my 4th try. Then we did a race, the kids had to put a bat on the ground, then their foreheads touch the end of the bat and they spin, then they run, it was so fun a lot of the kids fell down. After that we played more baseball.
Kaden caught in a pickle
Kali (aka gum girl). Kali didn't want to play ball with the big boys so she made sure everyone had their gum.
Then the kids were hungry for lunch, so we served hot dogs, chips, and drinks. Boy can these boys eat we went through about 40 hot dogs, and at least that many drinks.
I made baseball cupcakes for everyone. Then it was on to opening presents. When I made out the invitations for the party, Tanner asked if he could tell everyone to just give money instead of a present. I told him that was rude, but if his friends asked he could tell them that you just want money. So Tanner had 2 presents to open, baseball cards and a football, then he had about 14 cards to open. All together he got $130.00 from his friends. Add that to Grandma's, Aunts, Uncles and Mom and Dad, he raked in over $250.00. I couldn't believe it. He was saving up for a Nintendo DS, and not only did he get that he was able to buy 3 games and have $30 left over. He was on cloud nine. We went out after the party to get his DS, he hasn't put it down since. Thank You everyone for being so generous. Tanner keeps thanking me for such a great party, I think he just liked getting that much money.
