A Tom and Jerry Home Depot Party

We just got home from Little Brother's 4th Birthday Party at Home Depot. He chose a Tom and Jerry theme, which is perfect since he watches it every day after school. He invited a few friends from school and a few more family friends. All the kids had off school today for the Thanksgiving weekend, so it made it the perfect day for a party! Daddy took a long lunch and brought over the pizza to celebrate with us too!

Tom and Jerry isn't an easy theme- so we improvised and made it ourselves!  First off, I made the invitations and had them printed at Costco:

The "cake" was cupcakes from Costco with Tom and Jerry characters I bought on Ebay. A few birthday candles and sprinkles and there was one happy little boy!

We heard that Home Depot did birthday parties, but had never been to one. It turned out to be the perfect place for our celebration. They gave us a room for 2 hours, 2 helpers, and building kits of the kids' choice (about 6 to choose from). In addition, a woman volunteers to decorate a special hat and apron for the birthday boy and each kid gets their own apron to take home (as well as their finished project).

The kids had to wear safety goggles and listen to some directions before they started their projects. Ironically, the man in charge was named Jerry and he shares the same birthday as Little Brother! The kids listened, learned their safety lessons and went to work!

Big Brother wore 2 pairs to be extra safe, I guess...

Little Brother made a Home Depot race car and Big Brother made a spy periscope.

Here are all the kids with their creations. Little Brother got knocked in the head just before this photo, so there were some sad eyes!

Little Brother agrees with the balloon above. This was the best party ever!!!
