Ana's Party

We just finished an early birthday party for Ana. We were so happy with how many girls actually were able to make it! It was great!

We began with games. First, they played pin the bow on Hello Kitty. Lucas has a skill for drawing the characters for the kids' parties. He's done two Thomas the tank engine ones and several others. Today he drew a big Hello Kitty and then cut out bows for the girls to tape on.

The next game they played was a dress up game where you have to race to get dressed in some dress up clothes. That went okay, but noone likes to lose so everyone was trying to help eachother get dressed! It was funny. We got some good pictures!

Then some of the girls tried to dress a doll as fast as they could. I was entertained by one girl who obviously had watched her mom dress her younger sister before. She kept doing little things that you do with a real baby, not a doll. Like lie the baby on her coat and pull her arms through. It was too cute.

Then we had supper. mmmm.. Hot dogs, potato chips, grapes, and carrots. As they ate, Luke made balloon animals, (mostly cats), and then as they ate Ana's cake, Ana opened her gifts.

Then the kids went off to scream and play and fly balloons at eachother.

 I think Ana had fun. She got an early birthday present of a dress that has a matching dress for her doll, so she loved that!
