A Very Chocolate Party

We celebrated Rachel's birthday by having a big chocolate party (and it was very chocolaty).


It is a bit dark but we made a Happy Birthday sign for Rachel. And then the kids decorated it all crazy.  If you squint a bit, you might see that it says 'Happy Birthday'.


At the beginning of the party while we were waiting, we let the kids color a design for their own chocolate bar.


You can't really tell, but this is our chocolate hunt.  I hid like 150 pieces of candy all over and the kids had a blast.  There can never be too much chocolate.


This was a candy bar matching game.  (Not all the candy bars were chocolate though.   Shh...don't tell. The kids didn't seem to notice).  It is hard to find a variety of chocolate bars that aren't king size.


The kids split into two teams and rolled dice to try to get to eat some chocolate.  They had to use a knife and fork to eat it.


Poor Megan could never roll a six.  At the end we just let her eat some chocolate.


This whipping cream game was really fun to watch.  I hid about 50 mnms into each tub of whipped cream and the kids were suppose to find it.  Technically they were suppose to use their mouths, but most ended up using their hands after not very long.  They all got super messy and the whipped cream turned a shade of gray.


We made the mistake of letting all the kids work on their puzzles at the table.  So some of the pieces got a little mixed and made it more challenging.  After they finished their puzzles, they got to have their candy bars.


Then it was time for lunch.  I cooked some pizza and peeled some oranges (that was the healthy part).  We also let the kids dip things into melted chocolate.  Pretzels dipped into melted almond bark seemed to be the favorite.


Singing Happy Birthday; we used brownies instead of cake.


And the kids got to decorate their brownies.  I think the kids liked decorating their brownies more than eating them.  But oh well.


And baby Adam spent most of the time with Grandpa.  He was fascinated with Grandpa's Seahawks sweatshirt.


Not at the party but an awfully cute bunch of kids.

The party was great.  I get a little break until doing a Scooby Doo themed party for Whitney in March.
