We invited our good friends, the Binghams, to come to the party. They now only live like five minutes from my parents; so that is pretty convenient. We had all the girls decorate bags to carry their candy.
The birthday girl shows off her bag.
We played some really simple games that were fun. This one was a balloon relay. Each kid had to pop two balloons and then come back to tag the next person.
It was a little breezy, so some balloons made a break for it. Poor Megan is chasing her balloon right into the neighbor's yard - oops.
This game was fun. I found the idea on the Internet. It is called human pinata. Will was the pinata with a bag of candy.
The goal is to tag the pinata and then he throws a handful of candy out. While the kids are busy trying to collect that candy, the pinata runs away. Will was a good pinata.
This was another Internet find game - flour mountain. You make a mountain out of flour and put a piece of unwrapped candy at the top. Then each kid takes turns taking out spoonfuls of flour.
The kid who makes the candy fall have to get the candy - with just their mouth. It was a funny, messy activity.
After brushing the kids off, it was time to open presents. Megan got what she asked for - candy and balloons. She also got bubbles, books, art things, and more. Her new toy microphone from grandma is probably her absolute favorite.
Megan told me she wanted a Christmas cake for her birthday, in August. I think the Christmas tree turned out pretty cute. The store didn't have any green frosting though, so we had to use white frostin and green sprinkles. Oh well. It only took like six blows but Megan was finally able to get out those three candles.
The girls went outside to eat their cake and popsicles, so yummy.
Not really part of the party, but we made sure that Adam got a turn playing with the balloons. He is getting so big also.
So it was a fun, really simple party. Thanks mom and dad for letting us have it at your house.
