Megan's Party

To celebrate Megan's upcoming birthday, Megan had her very first official birthday party with friends her age on October 23.  It was so much fun to get ready for and I think Megan LOVED it.  She kept getting into the stash of party supplies I'd been collecting and asking when her party was.  In all, we had 8 kids come and it was busy but we had a great time.  I especially enjoyed that one of MY best friends from growing up, Kate, came to celebrate with us.  She helped finish our preparations and was the official photographer--thanks Kate!

What better way to celebrate a Halloween birthday than with a costume party?

Princess Megan waiting for her guests... (do you love those dimples like I do?)

Practicing the candle blowing...

Those were some delicious cupcakes--and that's homemade almond buttercream frosting--mmmm!

So excited...

Princess hairdo...

The spread:  jello jigglers and pb&h/pb&j--both cut in Halloween shapes, fruit snacks, cheese crackers, applesauce, and raisins--gourmet!

A princess, a monkey, Fancy Nancy, and Iron Man (poor melting Iron Man--it was about 85 that day)

Look at mac-daddy Bradley--3 princesses by his side! (Aurora, Princess Megan, and Rapunzel)

Ariel and Princess Megan...

Our little butterfly...

We started with some of this...

 

Followed by professional face-painting ("can you do spiderman's face?" um...how about a star?)

Waiting to pin the nose on the pumpkin...

The birthday girl's turn...

Brooke and her friend Maddy--they were twin ballerinas once Brooke lost her wings...

We decorated foam pumpkins...

We attempted to play "Witch, Witch, Ghost" aka duck, duck, goose...a little advanced for 3 year olds :)  *clockwise starting with Megan:  Megan, Megan, Emi, Damon, Audrey, Kate, Gracey, Bradley, and Maddy

Singing "Mean Old Witch"--Megan's favorite Halloween song (we sang it for family night for the entire month of October)

Blowing out the candles for real...
