Yesterday was the 9th birthday celebration of my son! NINE!! !



A Minecraft Party was requested. The easiest way to create one of those is to search for other people's ideas! So I went here and created this board. Sunny By Design had many amazing things. Here's a tribute to Minecraft Party..



Creeper juice. The tiny Chubby drinks. Paper torn off and faces put on.



Torches= twisted pretzel sticks. I could have coated the ends with red melted chocolate, but time took away from me. The slime balls were intended to be green jello, but that was left home in my fridge. The zombie boogies were wasabi beans!



Sorry for blurry photo below. I made little TNT bundles and then decided not to make them. Instead, I placed them in glass. My favourite moment of the evening was when I said," there are still lots of fruits and veggies left. I'm going to put them in your bag of loot even if you don't consume the vegetables and fruits today. Food was being eaten when there was a loud woosh at the table. :



The cake was a brownie, not a cake. I decided to leave the edges uniced because the brownie would be more crumbly. Fluffy Boiled Frosting was the icing. It was not sweet at all. We had made way too many cakes, so I made meringue puffs. These were also left at home.



Here's what I learned To make meringue, beat the egg whites, heat oven to 350 degrees, add them to the oven, turn off the oven and let them cool. Simple to make.



The signs and grass leaves were taken from Sizzix dies. The big, honkin' heavy ones. It can be done in the cuttlebug with a B plate at the bottom and a top. Don't use the A plate at t all. To let loose some party spirit, we rented the local arena.



We go to the general skating once a week. This kid has made lots of progress over the last few weeks. He even looks like a skater now!



Dad and his son.



Everybody sing ...... Happy Birthday to you!



Loot bag time!



The loot inside. I don't like presenting loot bags with a bunch of little things. So I gave handmade creeper cookies that took 2 days and a trip to the local bakery to freeze (Thanks Flying Fox) as well as the CD of Minecraft Parodies. I discovered the title on YouTube and gave it to my husband to allow him to use to create his magic. Then, I gave him some snacks.



Birthday party's over! (paper characters)



It was great fun!



Edited May 8: Wow y'all are probably in a reading frenzy for minecraft party ideas.What we would not do for our kids. This post has received nearly 10,000 hits as of today. That's a lot of hits in my world. People have been pinning my creeper juice bottles like crazy. Awesome. Check out my sidebar. 13 followers. Makes me feel kinda lonely. Would you like to join the party on my blog? Follow me or bookmark my blog to get a glimpse of what I've been working too. I've made ninja peggies too! They can be used to decorate your next party.
