7 August 2010 - Michael's batman party

My mom gave Michael a batman suit for his 3rd birthday and since then he has been semi-obsessed with batman.  When he first go the suit he wore it to creche for about 2 weeks straight - he wore it day and night.  He fell asleep in it and I had to pry it off him to get it in the wash and dry again to get back on him before he awoke in the morning - if he was not wearing it there was chaos in the house :)  Every function/party/occasion we has he was batman - it was actually so cute. 

So come his party this year guess what he chose as a theme - BATMAN of course.....

I must say it was a lot of fun getting everything sorted and organised and I even attempted my own plastic icing this year, which was really not as difficult as I thought it would be.

The kids made their own "superhero" masks (covering my garden and house in glitter, feathers and sequins in the process), played, ate sweets, ate cake and (I think) generally had a great time.  The birthday boy was in his element from when his eyes opened up at 7am until they shut again at 7pm - it was HIS day, he had waited a full 364 days for this day and if the photos are anything to go by he LOVED it.

Happy 4th birthday my little batman.
