The Party

Erin requested a princess party this year. So we obliged.


Most of the kids in front of the castle.

Melody created a huge castle on our entertainment center and we had the kids create crowns. We also had a pinata and played pin the kiss/crown on the frog. (We figured the boys might not want to "kiss" the frog. We were wrong!)

Instead of everyone bringing gifts for Erin (she has enough stuff as it is), we decided to have a Book Ball. Each child brought a new, wrapped book and then played a game to distribute a gift to each one. Everyone seemed to enjoy getting a new book. At first Erin wasn't too keen on not getting gifts from everyone, but she got presents from family and that seemed to satisfy her.


Erin gets her book read to her by Laura.


Clockwise: Erin, Andrew, Taidou, Laura, Kaela, Nico, and Michaelah

Everyone had fun and the weather cooperated so it wasn't too hot.
