Luke's Superhero Party!

Luke turned 5 and we celebrated with a Superhero party!
He has been talking about having a Superhero party since the beginning of the year.
Luke loves all Superheroes, but especially Batman!

The party was a Superhero theme, but it was also a pool party (Luke loves swimming, we have a pool & he has a summer birthday, so every single one of his parties has been a pool party along with theme)

 I got some capes & masks for the kids to dress up in:

 I got them {HERE}

Matching masks:

Next to the capes, I had this sign...everyone loved figuring out their Super Hero name!

I kept the decorations pretty simple for the party.

Loved all the primary colors!

You know I love hanging things from my ceiling :)

View from the other direction:

You can see the WHAM pinata behind my stove. 

Luke banner:

I got the decorations from Oriental Trading.

 They were big and added a nice pop of color!

I had all the appetizers on the center island.

Veggies & Hummus:

Cat Woman's Claws (Bugles)

The FOOD.....our outdoor kitchen that Kevin built is done, so it was so nice having that area to set up all the food!

The menu was pretty simple.

Hot dogs:

Pulled Pork {Recipe HERE}

Brocolli Slaw (I like this instead of coleslaw to serve on top of my pulled pork)

Potato Salad:

Tortellini Pasta Salad {Recipe HERE}

Watermelon:

When I host big parties, I put serve most of the food in disposable foil tins...makes clean up 100 times easier :)

Now onto my favorite....the dessert table!

 I just love having a dessert table!

 I mean..who doesn't love a dessert table?

We had Kryponite (green rock candy)

Fruit Puffs:

 I make these for almost every party..they are so good!

Spiderman's Webs:
 
Wonder Woman's Lasso:
 
Vanilla Cupcakes:

 I got the cupcake toppers {HERE}
The AMAZING cake my Mother in Law made:

Luke wanted a Superhero party, but a Batman cake :)

 Plates & napkins to go with the theme:

Fun straws:
