We've come to the end of our "Friend Party Year". This is our last one and we are home free! All next year we will enjoy a favorite meal and make a cake.
Anna's birthday is during the winter, and typically cold, so we decided on a morning party....with pajamas and cocoa! Two of our favorite things.
We set up our cocoa and donut accessory station. So glad I bought that little lazy condiment server....it's makes everything a little fancy. And five year old girls put a premium on fancy.
We didn't have to worry about getting dressed up. Jammies! So all we had to do was cut the fruit, dig out the sprinkles and open a box of donuts from Price Chopper.
This is my kind of party.
Soon kids arrived in there snugglies and socks.
I love Anna's smile.
Megan and Laney supervised "Pin the Star on the Christmas Tree".
I love big kids!
Then we played Bows in a Bucket relay races in the kitchen.
And then we raced to see who could build the tallest tower with their marshmallows.
It wasn't long before someone discovered the advantages of licking the marshmallows.
We whipped up another cake, so they could sing and she could blow out the candles, but we didn't slice it up to eat. They were still riding high on the cocoa and donut wave.
Unfortunately, while Anna was trying to blow out her candles, she got a little too close and her hair started on fire! She lost a couple inches of hair on the left side, but no major damage was done.
While we waited for the parents to come pick kids up, we played "Build a Snowman". Which was silly and fun and taught me that it's not that easy to wrap someone up in toilet paper. It keeps breaking and you have to have a very continuous and steady pace to wrap someone effectively.
These are not common traits of 5 year old kids.
We sent everyone out the door with a cocoa mug and some fuzzy socks, a container playdough and a chocolate penguin. Hip Hip Hooray for the dollar store!
Happy 5th Birthday, Annagator!
