A '12th Man' birthday party!

 Months before September 25th (his birth date), Timothy had decided that his 12th birthday needed to be a Seattle Seahawks '12th Man' party (if you don't know about the 12th Man, ask Google). He is definitely one child in our family who plans out his special days from beginning to end, or better yet, from breakfast to dinner!
He knows what he would like his cake to look like and he has a menu plan for all three meals. This year, we had such a big breakfast that no one needed lunch. So, we enjoyed two meals of his choosing. The peanut butter and jelly sandwiches will just have to wait to make another day more special!

Breakfast Menu: Pancakes with eggs and bacon

Dinner Menu: Pulled pork sandwiches

Cake Order: A peanut butter Seahawks football jersey cake.

Can you tell he loves Legos?!

The next Sunday, immediately following the teen service, we held a party for Timothy and his friends. This time I took the easy way out and made some cupcakes. My SS kids love them anyway! With the leftover icing from the cake, we were able to swirl the frosting and make some cool cupcakes in Seahawks colors!

Love these kids!

We were excited to find these "Little Smokies" which were newly available here, just in time for Timothy's football party! Perfect party food!

We also enjoyed tortilla wraps with ham and cheese.

 One other fun thing for the kids were the blue icecubes in the Mt. Dew. The kids loved them. We don't drink Mt. Dew but when it coordinates with your theme...it just works.

It was a wonderful day for everyone. Timothy was so happy that most of his friends were able to be here with him to celebrate his special day.

We ended the day with Timothy closing devotions in prayer.

We love our "12th Man"!
