Some of the Word World characters...whose bodies are spelt out. Such a clever cartoon!Kannin turned 6 on May 12th. It was a MUCH nicer day than the day he was born. On May 12, 2005...Kannin came into the world to several inches of WET SNOW. Fast forward 6 years...the sun was shining and his day was beautiful!
His birthday fell on a Thursday this year...so we put off having his party until the following weekend. We celebrated with family & friends on Saturday May 21st at our house. We had 53 people show up and had to stay in the garage & house for most of the party due to rain...but it was a GREAT party!!
Kannin wanted a "Word World" Birthday. "Word World" is a PBS cartoon that is his current obsession. It is a great outlet for his Hyperlexia. VERY EDUCATIONAL and entertaining. I tried to add as many "Word World" touches to the party as I could. It is a HARD theme to have as "Word World" stuff is difficult to find!
(REMINDER: Any of the below pictures can be blown up by clicking on them.)
These were the plates that we had. I made a replica "CAKE" (on plate) for Kannin, as seen below.
Everyone thought it was a fake cake. Better picture of cake a few pictures below.
Kannin got the whole cake to himself and everyone else had cookies that LOOKED like the CAKE.
Lots of FUN & YUMMY Candy on the tables.
Popcorn for EVERYONE!
Goody Boxes for all the kids to take home.
Candy & Balloons on ALL the tables.

Kids were SO excited for the Ice Cream Truck...even though it was COLD!!

The rain ceased just enough for the kids to play in the backyard.
