So I have to admit, I’ve been looking forward to today’s Lego birthday party with equal parts excitement and dread. Custom Lego birthday party for eight boys? Wicked awesome! Eight boys in my house? Questionable. Four of five family members felled by stomach flu in the five days leading up to the party, leaving the birthday boy vulnerable? Nerve-wracking. Three of said party guests, including the birthday boy, spontaneously and independently naming the party-in-progress “Best birthday party EVER!”? Priceless.
This is what an eight-year-old’s perfect birthday looks like:
The boys were astonishingly well-behaved, and utterly engaged with the Lego Guy’s instruction at every step of the way. Things only got a little crazy when they took their newly assembled Lego Mindstorm Robots into the wresting ring for a final challenge. Take a quick peek, it’s only 30 seconds but I bet if you’re even a little bit in touch with your inner eight-year-old boy (what, you don’t have one?) it makes you smile!
Did I mention? Best! Birthday! Party! EVER!
veryveryvery cool:)
we have that first lego game and it is a hit with everyone all the time!
what a fab idea:)
i will be looking for that number in a few years,lol!
and glad the bday boy gotto enjoy his day flu-free.
Can I come next year?

Sounds like something my Sam would like. Where can I find the Lego Guy?
Great party!
My boy, Dario (1 year old), just looooves the blocks. I’m pretty sure he’d be more than excited to have a party like Tristan had once he gets older.
A-W-E-S-O-M-E for kids(and let’s say that for parents too must of the time, jejejeje).
This seemed like an awesome party. My boy LOVES LEGO can you give me the Lego guy’s number ?
This is a great idea!! How do I get in contact with this Lego Guy??? Please let me know.

Hi Angie, your comment came through as “Anonymous” so I can’t reply to you directly.
To everyone who has asked – I haven’t had contact with Ian for several years now and I’m not sure if he is still even offering Lego parties.
