My not so little girl turned 9 on May 25th! Makes me so sad and happy all at the same time that she is getting older and bigger. For her birthday breakfast she wanted pancakes with cool whip and sprinkles and strawberry milk.
Dustin and I got her a BB gun. I think she was happy and surprised. Because her birthday was Sunday we didn't do much. We had some friends over after church and a few family members to eat some cake but for the most part just hung out that day at home.
Tuesday was her birthday party. I gave her 10 invitations to invite whoever she wanted. I had at least 2 that had not received a paper invitation come and started to worry a little about how many she actually did invite. I know there were 7 others that were invited that didn't come so there were at least 14 invitations. :) Love this little social butterfly. The other thing I thought was so funny is that only one of these girls was actually in 3rd grade. There were two 1st graders and the rest were 2nd graders.
Ella wanted a theme of fruities. We didn't have time to think too hard about the party so here is what we came up with. She also wanted to do pinatas so we got some snow cone cups full of fruities and glued together and then glued crepe paper that they fringed with scissors along with anything else they wanted like pom poms or Ella chose fruitie wrappers.
Then we went outside to play a few games.
3 teams raced balancing dice on a popcicle stick in their mouths.
It got a little competitive.
Then we put on headbands that had a cup taped to the top and tried to catch flying marshmallows in your cup.
Again, these girls are quite competitive.
Ate some yummy cupcakes..
And posed for a picture for mom. :)
