Grayson turned 7 today. I can hardly believe it's been 7 years since that day when I first saw his little face. A lot has changed in the last 7 years. My big kid is a first grader, loves to play soccer, trade Pokemon cards, and battle Beyblades. So today we hosted a Beyblade Birthday Bash at our house.
Grayson got a bunch of fun presents this morning when he woke up - including his first digital watch, complete with a stopwatch.
Our Beyblade party was organized into regular play, and then a tournament. The matches were all set in advance so there was no guessing whose turn it was to play.
These, by the way, are Beyblades. Super cool, very fast, powerful tops. They are all the rage amongst the elementary school set.
You use them to "battle" your opponents in a Beyblade stadium.
Everyone arrived, and the fun began. Tony refereed the battles in Stadium 2, I referred the battles in Stadium 1. They played best out of 3.
Snack break - chicken fingers and fruit. Then it was back to more battles. These kids could play Beyblades all day long.
I should have recorded how incredibly loud it was. Screaming, cheering, and chanting for favorites.
Ella was #1 cheerleader.
Then we started the tournament. In the end Wilson prevailed over Grace in the final round - but it was a close one.
Even Max was in on the action.
Then it was time for Beyblade Birthday Cake.
And the party ended with an impromptu game of soccer.
We were really fortunate to have such warm weather in February. It's very unusual, but we ran with it!
