Kristen turned 8 on March 18. She had such a good day! This year she got a friend party and decided that she did not want it to be held on her birthday. We did it the day after, since it was the start of spring break. Kristen planned out her party back in January (yes, she was that excited). She wanted to have a pond party and play games and do activities related to frogs. I thought that was very interesting...considering she's very into Littlest Pet Shops, Polly Pockets, Hannah Montana, and stuff like that. But frogs it was. We handed out frog invitations, made frog cupcakes, played musical lily pads (instead of chairs) and other frog-related games, and handed out frog toys. She was totally in her element, being the center of attention. :0)
We made a butterfly cake for our family party and had a treasure hunt for her to find her gifts. She didn't get many toys--but we figured her friends would take care of that (which they did).
