Here’s a run down of what we did for TJ’s birthday party on Saturday! The first photo is actually the LAST one we took, but it was such a fin photo – all the kids that came to her party out in our backyard on the big wagon wheels the last owners left here. I can’t decide if I like the color version or the black & white better. I took this to make thank-you cards for each of the kids (which I better get cracking on!) They were all kids from Church except for the cute guy next to TJ on the back row. Such a nice kid, and handsome too! LOL!





We always play “spin the bottle” to open gifts. The kids all sit in a circle, holding their gifts. The birthday child spins a bottle, and whomever it points to, that’s whose gift she opens. It keeps things less hectic, and gives everyone a chance to see each gift before she tears into the next one (also giving me an opportunity to take better photos).
TJ loved the boots we gave her – she even wore them to school in +30 degree weather with her shorts and Tee. What a nut!
Oh, and she got a webkin from Matthew – apparently these are SUPER AWESOME and all the rage. I had never heard of them before. LOL! Oh, and notice the hair-do, Jenn? TJ requested it special. She also wanted a flower in her hair from checking out your blog. LOL!
Mmmmmm… a DQ ice cream cake. We bought an ice cream cake because one of the kids had an egg allergy. He didn’t end up wanting any cake at all! LOL! Oh well, I enjoyed it… a LOT! Yep, that was our fun party day. She was so excited for this day, but for me – the even more special day is quickly approaching…. BAPTISM DAY!
OY!!! Another idea I am stealing from you. D’s party is this weekend and I am totally doing the spin the bottle idea. That is great. Her hair is cute! She’s a doll! I’m so glad her party went over so well and that it finally came. She looks to cute looking out the window in antisipation!
