Lego Movie birthday party!

Today was the day of Elinor's birthday party.  She chose Lego Movie for her theme so we had some great party games planned.  I also made my first ice cream cake, which turned out fantastic!  We started the party with some Lego bingo.  Once all the guests arrived, we started our scavenger hunt for the piece of resistance.  I had made lots of word puzzels for the kids, unfortunately, I think they might have been too hard.  But the kids managed to complete the quest and get the piece of resistance.  Our next activity was to see how well the kids could follow directions.  I had two identical sets of Lego's and divided the kids into two teams and they had to build the sets as fast as they could.  This was like Emmet at the beginning of the movie, where he followed the directions. For the next game, which was the kids favorite, I gave the kids a giant bucket of lego's and they each built a car to race pinewood derby style.  They did this for quite a long time before we did "Pin the piece of resistance on Emmett".  We finished the party with pizza, presents and ice cream cake.  I think all the kids had lots of fun, and I had lots of fun putting it all together!
