Robot Themed Birthday Party + Free Pintables!

Emry turned 4!!!! My how time has past! We had a TON of fun celebrating, I asked Emry a few months ago what he wanted for his cake and all he said was gumballs (last year we had a gymball machine cake) and I told him we could use gumballs but that the cake needed to BE something, and after lots of ideas he stuck with a Robot theme! On our trip to Florida I stumbled upon the first season of the Jetsons at cracker Barrel 80% off, not sure if the boys would like it, but they were GLUED!!! But we had SO MUCH fun planning his Robot themed birthday! The day went awesome, we had all our family and some friends come and celebreate with us, I know Emry felt blessed and special! The day ended with so much excitment we all couldn't sleep, but then it quickly morphed into me laying in bed, crying myself a puddle as Josh held me tight, as I realize time isn't stopping. You can easily ignore every single one of those 364 days of the year he's  3, 3, 3, 3,then in ONE day he grows a whole year older to 4. I love being his mom!

 This is his Robot Birthday Cake, I asked him what kind of cake he wanted and he said Strawberry, so I made a new reicpie I hadn't tried before. I baked it in a 9x13 pan, cut 3-4 inches off the top and 3-4 inches off the bottom, then flipped the bigger middle chest piece part 90 degrees and assembled to frost. I tinted the forsting with a steel blue, a small amount. I used peach rings for eyes with 2 blue M&Ms, Dum Dums OR mini toostie pops for his ears, fruit flavored colored twizzlers for the blue square outline in the center and the green on above his wheels, gumballs for his 'buttons' as Emry called them, Oreos for his wheels and all the rest of the red was Pull & Peel Twizzlers/String! Emry and I had a lot of fun decorated it!!!

for the 'tablecloth' I found this SUPER cute robot wrapping paper, bought a white tablecloth then lay the wrapping paper on top of it, if you're worried about ruining it (which I wasn't) you could throw a clear tablecloth on top of it but I didn't think it was needed for a couple hours.

I made a PDF of these exact signs I made and I asked my awesome smarty pants brother in law to somehow make it downloadable online so I could share it with you guys, so here's the link to the signs I made: Fee Robot Party Signs PDF . If you're wanting to make different ones to match or more I used the dingbats font: Tombots for the cute little random robots at the top Click here for free Tombots font , then used the font: Destructo Beam BB for the wording Click Here for free Destructo Beam BB Font. The chips and dip was the most popular I found out Hy-vee brand potato chips taste identical to Lays/Ruffles- whew. The nuts and bolts was simple trail mix I threw together of: raisens, cherrios, pretzel sticks, rest of m&ms from the cake, square chex cereal and peanuts.

I was looking for anything in the cracker aisle that resembled 'gears' and I found these Mini Ritz crackers, they are super thin and little, but I thought they fit the part perfect! So many people eating them then asked what they were cause they're addictingly good! :o)

Found this blog on Pinterest, she has created an amazingly cute package of free robot birthday party printables with endless possibilities to use them with, Here's the bottled water wrappers we printed off, aren't they cute?! Click Here for PDF Robot Printables

these are compliments of my mother...a.k.a. grandma :o) she's the best! aren't they adorable?!?

The Happy birthday banner, made of felt that I have hung up every single year for every kid.

These are the prizes people won for the games, one prize was a robot arm that picked up things I found it at target for a couple bucks at the end of the isle- perfect! Then the other two was a 5 lb. gigantic real gummy bear I found at Party City and then a blow up guitar. The tags were printed off from the PDF file, these tags could be used for favor bags as well! Super Cute! Here's the link again in case you don't wan to scroll back up: Click Here for Free Robot Birthday Printables

Then these square robot dudes are in that free printable PDF as well, I didn't know what to do with them, she suggested you print them as stickers and use a circle die cut to punch them out but I thought glueing them back to back on simple ribbon would make a cute streamer decoration at the entrance of the toy room :o)

The star of the day!!! He was so excited!! I forgot to get a picture of him with his parents :/ whats new.

So excited in fact before I even got done lighting the candles he was already starting his own song of 'happy birthday to me' as everyone laughed then joined in :o)

I let him place his candles wherever he wanted ;o)

Then we played 'Pin the Heart on the Robot'! Here's Emry havin a go at it!

and then his cousin Kaelyn!

 

My hubby is such a great artist, I told him I wanted a huge robot drawn onto paper and he made this all by his awesome self!!! He even cut out all the hearts! The kids loved the game, and Eden won! The other game we played but I don't have any pictures of is this: Famous Robots Matching Game Free Printable I thought it was good to get the adults invovled and I didn't think this was super easy either- I like a good challenge. Beware when you print it off, for every one that you print off you'll get an answer key that looks almost identical with it. I just printed them all off then handed out the stack, so every other person got the answer key, but luckily I swiped them all back before anyone noticed! haha!

the kids were dieing to get outside and play so out they went!! I was so thankful it wasn't freezing like last year! :)

 

Present Time!! It was a sea of presents, kids, wrapping paper and smiles :o)

Him with his Vikings Jersey he got from grammy!

Pinata Time!!! His birthday is at a perfect time of the year to use ALL that halloween candy in his birthday pinata! Every year we do a pinata for his birthday, it's a birthday staple, so we got this transformers one at Party City and got a discount cause it was falling apart! yes! You're supposed to use the string behind it to pull them, and the lucky kid who pulls the right string breaks it open, but I thought that was just plain boring- I mean who ever invented that idea. dumb. where's the fun in that? So I clipped off 'THEE' string and left the rest as decoration.... Emry says he wants to make his own next year! ;o) Here's Israel knockin away at it!

It took about 4 rounds of 10 kids to finally have us rip it open, it was sooooo much fun. lots of laughter. I asked Emry was what his favorite part of the party and he said 'The Pinata!' Happy Birthday Emry! Love you!!!!!!
