Cooper had a Mad Ants birthday party, after the Fort Wayne Mad Ants basketball team. It was a complete party with Cooper's own Mad Ants T-shirt. The colored streamers were red and yellow like the team colors, and we had basketball concession food: hot dogs, chips, hot popcorn, fruit, and punch. Not the healthiest, but it went with the theme! He had his Mad Ants cake, and basketball games. He had been looking forward to this day for a very very long time! I told him his birthday was in the "snow time." Well, it snowed back in November and so he has been waiting all fall and winter long! Finally it was here and it was a fun time!! He invited his friends, Emerson Lewis, Joey Newhard, and the Stump boys, Coby, Kye, and Cameron, and of course his best brother, Jaxton.

We played a basketball game to go along with the theme. Each kid began at the closest point from the basketball hoop and tried to make a basket. Then they would go backwards a pace and try to make baskets from farther and farther away from the hoop. This is a game that Cooper and Daddy play at home in our basement often. It was fun watching the kids play and have fun shooting hoops, Cooper's favorite pasttime.
Presents time! He got some great new toys and gifts from all his friends. He got some Toy Story games from the Coby Kye and Cameron, a brand new basketball from Joey, and a hot wheels race track from Emerson. What fun! Thank you friends!
Time for cake! This was the best part for Cooper! Sugar time! He has been waiting for this moment to blow out his candles and eat his very own Mad Ants cake for months!! This is definitely the highlight for him!
