Mikayla's 7th Birthday Party

Today we had a birthday party for Mikayla. The theme for this party was "ladybugs".
I was trying to get a picture of just Mikayla, but some of her friends wanted to join in too. So I wasn't successful with that.


We started off the party with eating pizza and Capri Suns.
Once again, John, my mom and myself were amazed at how much girls can eat. John only got to eat the crust left from Ashlee's pizza and I got one slice.



The first game we played was pin the spot on the ladybug. The girls had a lot of fun with this game.









Next we played Ladybug Landing. It was like muscial chairs, except the girls were flying ladybugs and they had to land on a leaf when the music stopped. At the end they all landed on a leaf, each leaf had a number and they got a prize with their number on it. Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of that game.


Next the girls divided up into teams for a scavenger hunt. They had 10 minutes to find items on their list. The team with the most items won. Needless to say. Both teams found all the items so they all received a ring pop.






Instead of cake we had Ladybug Cupcakes. I was disappointed that they didn't turn out as cute as the picture. I guess I am not a cake decorator. The girls didn't seem to mind. They thought they were cute and asked for seconds.

The party ended with an easter egg hunt, since tomorrow is Easter. The girls all had fun and Mikayla enjoyed her party. Maybe one of these years the weather will cooperate and we can have a party outdoors instead of in the garage. It was so cold today. The girls were shivering and asking to go inside because it was so cold. But in spite of the cold weather we all had fun. Happy Birthday Mikayla. We are proud of who you are and what you have accomplished.
