It has been WAY too long since Jack's Super Hero 4th Birthday, but I never got around to posting pictures and all the details. Jack is obsessed with Super Heroes right now, and had been requesting an Iron Man themed party for months prior. I tried to find ideas of how to make an Iron Man cake, but there were very few promising ideas out there. I ended up just printing an Iron Man face picture as the template, and made my own. I had SERIOUS doubts about it, and as usual, around 3 AM, I ended up crying, thinking his birthday party would be ruined because of the cake, but it ended up turning out to be SO cute. I was quite proud of my cake "carving" abilities. I wanted it to have some dimension in the face and not just be flat, and it worked out really well. Since his birthday is in October, we decided to have all the birthday guests wear costumes. The kids loved it! Jack had trouble deciding which Hero he was going to be, and changed his costume about 3 times. We had a Super Hero obstacle course which taught our future heroes how to battle villains, and included spraying "bad guys" with silly string(in honor of Spider Man, of course!). And what party wouldn't be complete without a pinata?! Jack got way too many presents and was spoiled, as usual. It was so fun to be so close to all our family for a birthday party!
Happy Birthday, Jack!
