Mario Party 5

For Andrew’s b-day party we went with a

Mario Party 5

theme.

We decorated the house like a video game.IMG_3251

We started the party by eating Mario pizza and Luigi punch.

Darrin made a game board with different spaces for mini-games and ways to collect coins.

The object of the game was to get as many coins as you could, so you could buy prizes at the end of the party. IMG_3272

Some of the mini-games were

the Yoshi Egg Run, Coin Hunt,  Pipe Toss, and the Turtle Shell Game.IMG_3273 IMG_3285

 

We had a “big man” cake and, of course, presents.

It was very funny to watch the kids spend their coins at the end of the party.

They were more inclined to buy lots of little prizes rather than a bigger prize for more money.

I thought they would all fight over the big prizes!

The party was very fun, and I think everyone had a great time!!
