Evie has really been into spies and mysteries this year so naturally we decided to do a secret agent theme for her 8th birthday. She helped design the cake - which she described as a "man disguised as a cake". As guests came into the party, they picked from an envelope to get their secret code names. (Evie was Fast Poodle and Ellie was Autumn Tuna.)
After practicing their fingerprinting skills and testing out some invisible ink, it was time for the laser maze. Our agents practiced their agility getting through the maze without ringing any of the bell alarms. They later found it was probably easiest to scoot through on their tummies.
Even Ba got into the action! She must be practicing her yoga.
After the laser maze, our training was interrupted with an urgent call from the Party Intelligence Agency (PIA) Director. The evil Mr. Chaos had stolen the secret files and the agents-in-training would have to use the clues and decoders found in the golden briefcase to retrieve them. The kids really got into running around the house and working together to solve the riddles.
Evie happily blows out her candles.
Unfortunately, a side effect of the black tuxedo was some pretty black teeth, as London and quite a few others discovered!
We ended the party with water balloons which alas, had a hard time popping.
Another legendary party ends with lots of smiles! Mission accomplished!
