Parker's Harry Potter Birthday Party

Parker with his friends: Carter Steere, Tanner Golightly, Kyleigh Posvar, Kinley Hess, and Ethan Becker.  Parker begged for a Harry Potter themed birthday party this year.  He's on book 5 of the series right now. We made his friends their own Hogwarts invitations and they each had to pass through platform 9 3/4 to get inside our house.
Once inside we sorted everyone into Houses with the app from my iPhone.  The only one sorted into Slytherin House was Elijah.  How ironic. :)  Afterward we painted the wands that chose the child and had a potions class. 
Seriously I was at a loss for his cake this year.  So there is the golden snitch Harry caught with his mouth his first year as Seeker and a put together Harry Potter lego set.  Lame, I know, but it tasted good.
Making his wish...
My poor asthmatic kid.  It took three blows to extinguish his eight candles.
His friends then toasted him with their "butterbeer" and then started devouring their cake and ice cream.  While Melissa, Rebecca (she flew in the night before) and I dished up our cake we heard Parker propose a toast.  Everyone raised their goblets and then he said, "To the best friends a kid could ever have...cheers!"

Oh I forgot he said that. But ofcourse he did. It was a fun birthday. Very creative. Love you Parks and thanks for letting me come to your party.
