For Spencer's 17th Birthday we did a "Hungry Games" theme. Food was a main attraction; we served rustic breads from the Mellark bakery, nightlock berries with vanilla ice cream, Capitol pizza, and tracker-jacker anti-venom to drink.
As everyone arrived, they practiced being Katniss with a bow and arrow.
Whatever number they hit on the target was the District they represented in our "games." (This is Pablo, who will forever be known as Rue in our family.)
To start things off, each of the "tributes" made a weapon out of tinfoil.
They were all placed in a pile and then after a countdown, they could grab any weapon. If someone got touched by a weapon they were out. Chaos ensued.
The final showdown: coming out as the victor was Kylie!
We played lots of other games, too: marshmallow retrieval from the "cornucopia," dropping parachutes, and movie trivia. After the games we finished out the night watching the Hunger Games movie. It was so awesome hanging out with these super kids. What a fun party!
On Spencer's actual birthday, he requested lemon cake with lemon frosting. Yummy! Happy Birthday, Spencer. I love you.
