Erin's Friend Party


Happy 5th Birthday to Erin!


Erin has been counting the days for several weeks and has been so excited for her birthday this year. She really wanted a friend party, she chose a cat theme, and she helped Mom and Megan prepare for it. We invited 5 friends but only 2 were able to make it (due to illnesses and baby births).

The party favor bags were fun!


Thanks to Aunt Andrea's suggestion, we painted cat faces on the little girls.
It was a pretty serious endeavor.



Once they had been turned into cats, they were more smiley.


We played some games too!

Pin the Bow on the Cat


"Feed the Cats" Bean Bag Toss
This was supposed to be a toss game, but it ended up being
more fun to play behind and look through.

(We made some bean bag mice, a fish,
and a can of cat food to throw through the mouths.)



Then it was present time!
Erin got some fun crafts and games,
glowsticks for Halloween,

and some Moon Sand.
Thanks so much, Melody and Afton!


Finally, it was time to decorate and eat cat cupcakes!



Thank you to everyone who helped make this a fun day for Erin!
We will have a family party with Dad over the weekend.

Is that seriously Afton?!?!? I haven't seen her in forever... they all look so grown up, and I remember when both Erin and Afton were born! Happy birthday, Erin... it looks like you had such a fun birthday party!
