Ashton's Pajama Party!

We celebrated Ashton's birthday a few days early on Saturday with a fun Pajama Party. A couple weeks ago I was trying to think of what he's really into right now and what he'd like to do for a party and I thought hmmm...what does Ashton love? And seriously he is happiest when he is at home in his pajamas and like I've mentioned before he spends a lot of time just changing between all of his different pajamas. So it came to me to have a pajama party and you should have seen the excitement in his eyes when I asked him if he wanted to have a pajama party for his birthday! He jumped up and said "Yeah!! And everyone can wear their pajamas all day at my house!" Pure heaven for him to not have to get dressed in normal clothes all day!
So that is what we did. Two of his friends from our neighborhood Tyler and Jace came over and Lars' Mom and Dad and sister and her kids Ali and Hunter came from Price and my Mom came from Wyoming for the day. We had a pinata,had pillow case races, opened presents...
(Ashton got a bunch more fun stuff...a light brite, an etch-a-sketch that plugs into and shows up on the t.v., A glowing drawing thing (can't remember what it's called), a little stable for his horses, a spiderman game for his Vmotion system, money, a transformer truck, a wall hanging with his name on it, a cars puzzle from Gunnar, the superman pajamas he's wearing plus 2 other new pairs of pajamas (that he changed between all day!) And I can't remember what else! Spoiled!Then we had cake and ice cream. (Ashton wanted a spider on his cake, so Grandma Susan decorated the cake for me when she arrived :) I think it turned out pretty cute! Ashton LOVED it all! Then after the party was over Lars took him to the hotel where his family was staying to go swimming (or sit in the hot tub for a minute anyway). Then we all went to Firehouse for dinner and Ashton got to have his cousin Hunter stay the night at our house. He was soooo excited! So excited that he started waking up at about 4:45 the next morning asking if it was time to get up yet so he and Hunter could play! Grrrr...

Silly cousins having fun in the truck on the way home from dinner...Getting ready for bed with their matching loveys What a fun day!
