It is so hard to believe that Michael is a whole T H R E E years older than me!
I always forget until one of us has a birthday!
August 31 is Michael's birthday, and I really wanted to do something special for him!
I always get extremely stressed out when it comes to birthdays because I want them
to be so special!
The idea came to me 3 weeks prior to his Birthday:
A L I T T L E K I D P A R T Y.
It was brilliant! How had I not thought of this before?
I was off on preparations!
I talked with my Mom and planned a couple of activities,
bought prizes for the games, and went crazy figuring out what decorations I needed!
T H E D A Y A R R I V E D!
We stayed up the night before cleaning and setting up the classic birthday party decor.
Streamers, balloons, and a birthday sign!
Not only was this Mike's birthday,
but it was the debut of our apartment to most of our guests!
Here is the final product!
We had party hats too!
Even Frank got into the festivities!
He is so T O T E S A D O R B S!
When everyone first got there, we had pizza and just let everyone get to know everyone.
You know, let them get real C O M F.
Then, the games began!
First, we played P I N G P O N G B A L L D R O P.
In this game, players have to hold the ping pong at their nose and attempt to drop the ball into the mason jar below. Players had to drop 6 balls into their jar.
We had 2 groups of 4 compete, then the winners of the 2 groups would face off in an ultimate death match!
Jill Garlick and I were the ones who had to face off!
It was such a tight competition, but in the end, she beat me by
O N E S E C O N D!
Next was P I N T H E T A I L O N T H E D O N K E Y!
As you can tell, our donkey is E X T R E M E L Y G O R G E O U S!
Michael drew this bad boy the night before, and it was perfect!
We went through everyone who came, but Becky Hubbard came out on top!
I don't have a victory picture of her though! :(
Our final game was T H E T O I L E T P A P E R G A M E!
Players in this game must roll their teammate up in toilet paper the fastest.
Who ever finishes their roll first wins!
Gabi and Alex won this particular game!
These were the mummies!
What's a kid's party without a P I N A T A?
We had a lot of fun with this, and it was a great way to end the party!
I normally get really stressed out about these kinds of events that I plan.
I am always nervous that they wont work out and
no one will have fun.
I do know that for this particular party,
Michael had fun and that is all that matters!
Thanks for coming to the party for those who came!
Thanks for reading!
