The Big 10!

On February 22nd, 2016, Caleb turned the big 10! It was perfect that we had just moved in to our new house that we were able to host a big party for his special day. He wanted a Harry Potter themed party so I set out to create Harry Potter decorations, treats, and games.

To begin with, guests had to enter through the 9 3/4 station to get to Hogwarts Hall.

The banquet hall was fully decorated with banners from Slytherin, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff and yummy treats of Butter beer, chocolate frogs, and Pizza!

After the feast of yummy treats, the kids set out to discover which team they would be on for the festivities by going on a scavenger hunt collecting magical horcruxes and finding the sorting hat. Everyone put on the hat and picked an easter egg and wand. Inside the egg was the team name and on the wand was a tag with the name of the wand. After they found out which team they were on they received a magic spell created just for them.

We played Harry Potter bingo, guess the jelly bean flavor, bamboozled which is a gross tasting jelly bean game, and did an obstacle course. Many prizes were given away such as coloring books with markers, candy, Carl's Jr. giftcards, toys, and paints. Everyone had a really good time playing especially the bamboozled one. Some of the jelly beans tasted like throw up and dirty socks...gross.

After food, games, and prizes it was time to eat cake! Oreo cookie madness.....so delish. At the end of the party everyone lined up to enter the Chamber of Secrets to get their fortune and goodie cauldron. The mini cauldron was filled with stickers, tattoos, and candy. Caleb said this was the best party he ever had and I'm so glad we were able to give him a wonderful and memorable day for the big 10.
