Best! Birthday! Party! EVER!!

by DaniGirl on March 7, 2010 · 45 comments

So I have to admit, I’ve been looking forward to today’s Lego birthday party with equal parts excitement and dread. Custom Lego birthday party for eight boys? Wicked awesome! Eight boys in my house? Questionable. Four of five family members felled by stomach flu in the five days leading up to the party, leaving the birthday boy vulnerable? Nerve-wracking. Three of said party guests, including the birthday boy, spontaneously and independently naming the party-in-progress “Best birthday party EVER!”? Priceless.

This is what an eight-year-old’s perfect birthday looks like:

The boys were astonishingly well-behaved, and utterly engaged with the Lego Guy’s instruction at every step of the way. Things only got a little crazy when they took their newly assembled Lego Mindstorm Robots into the wresting ring for a final challenge. Take a quick peek, it’s only 30 seconds but I bet if you’re even a little bit in touch with your inner eight-year-old boy (what, you don’t have one?) it makes you smile!

Did I mention? Best! Birthday! Party! EVER!

My boy, Dario (1 year old), just looooves the blocks. I’m pretty sure he’d be more than excited to have a party like Tristan had once he gets older.

I don’t feel comfortable posting the Lego Guy’s information publicly (it’s not mine to post) but he seems fine with me sharing it via e-mail. If you fill out the e-mail address line when you comment, I can send it to you — or you can e-mail me for it at danicanada (at) gmail (dot) com.
