Monster Mania!!!

Today Emmett turned 5 years old!

In his mind this was the day when he officially got "BIG."  The first thing he said when he came downstairs was "I'm five now.  Where is my booster seat?"  According to Emmett, his size and weight no longer determine the type of riding apparatus he would occupy.

He is also officially old enough to go to Kindergarten.

So, to help the little guy turn BIG, we threw one-heck-of-a-Monster-Mania-Bash complete with a monster craft, mega monster stomp, feed the monster, monster tag and a monster hunt.  Not to mention some yummy eats that no monster would turn down!
Emmett was excited to get his very own ferocious Monster tee to wear to his party!
The party decorations were frightfully fun and colorful!


We were able to capture some of the most elusive creatures on earth as they stopped by to celebrate with Emmett.

Guests only had to follow the Monster prints to know where the mania would take place!
Monster lovers, monster hunters, and monster mashers!
Creating their very own cute/ferocious monster was super fun
Taking a walk on the WILD side
This monster wanted to be fed and the party goers were happy to oblige!
Monster tag - complete with tails!
What Monster Mania Party would be complete without a monster hunt?
Emmett led the mob in search of the hiding monster
And here he is!
NOTE: No monster was actually bashed during the making of this party.  
Emmett loved Monster story time
Monster cupcakes!

Each monster hunter went home with their very own monster bag full of all things MONSTER!
