Despicable Me Party!

My son loves Despicable Me so we themed his Party around that this year...


These are the little "Minions" who came... 


 We ordered Pizza, and had snacks from the movie including "Coconutties" and "Gru's Food for Kids" (aka Candy)


And of course we had minion cupcakes!
I like simplicity, so my birthday desserts are always something that can be done pretty easy. I bought blue and white frosted cupcakes at Sam's Club. I then bought twinkies (which I cut in half), smarties (for the eyes), black licorice (for the hair), and a black frosting tube to make the minion. Super easy and super cute!


I had little take home bags for each kiddo. Despicable Me 2 had just come out, so McDonald's had been having the Minion toys in their Happy Meals. I saved them up and gave one in each bag along with some other fun treats.


My husband is a plumber so we always have a plethora of boxes, so we had to make the "box of shame" :) The kids loved playing in it!
