Sam's 11th Birthday Party

For Sam's 11th Birthday party, we went with an Angry Birds theme.  I found some fun ideas on Tip Junkie months ago and we have been saving boxes ever since. 

The goody bags (I found the printable for these guys here)

The cake

I was really excited about these little guys.  I have never so much as touched fondant before, but there are some good online tutorials and I decided to give it a shot.  It was kinda fun.

For the party activities, we built edible towers with all sorts of junk food.  I wish I would have given the boys equal portions to begin with, but I let them select what they wanted.  There were some crazy buildings.  These boys had some clever ideas, but I think it was a race to see who could get the most junk food on their plate the fastest. 

After the boys built towers out of boxes they took turns knocking them down then rebuilt the structure.
