Mya chose a Veterinarian themed birthday party this year. We invited her first grade class. There were 15 kids in our humble abode! We had a blast. Everyone brought along their favorite stuffed animal. Mya dressed in a white lab coat and greeted her guests at the door with name tages that read "Dr._____" and their name. She handed them charts with a paper inside for filling out all kinds of personal information about their pet. We had 'stations' set up around the room for the doctors to weigh their pet, bandage them up, and make pretty collars for them.
We played some fun games, including diving into teams and seeing who could wrap up their teammates in toilet paper the fastest!
I think the highlight of the party was the scavenger hunt. I pretended that the local humane society called me during the party and said they needed help finding a missing puppy. We had clues all over the house and the kids really got into solving riddles and locating the lost pup. A reward followed.
A Carvel ice cream cake. Mmm.
We concluded the party with ice cream and the movie "BOLT".
Happy 7th birthday, big girl!! We couldn't love you more and we will not love you less. You have been through so much transition in your seventh year of life, moving from St. Louis to Greenville, Greenville to Boston, making lots of new friends, and becoming a big sister. God has been so good to give us you. We adore you!!! xoxo
