Alison's BOOO-thday party


Today was Alison's 4th birthday party. We had a Halloween theme this year. Alison made some monster artwork for her invitations so I scanned them and used them like clip art on computerized invitations and just printed them out. We invited her whole school class and her primary class plus she verbally invited all her teachers and anyone who has been listening to her during this past month. So we had 16 kids and two of her school teachers plus lots of parents and family members here this morning.
Luckily I persuaded my visiting teacher and a couple of my young women from church to come and help me. We started out with decorating trick or treat bags, next was pin the eye on the monster and a spider ring toss.
Then we did a mummy wrapping race and did a freeze dance to "Purple People Eater". We ended with the Pinata of course and then the eyeball cake and gifts.
The whole party was done in an hour and 15 minutes! Perfect, cause I was exhausted! But Alison said it was the best birthday ever so it was all worth it.

Congratulations on another successful birthday party. You could go into business giving parties. You come up with such clever ideas. I am glad that Alison loved her party. Has anyone figured out what one two smells like yet? Tell Alison that Grandma Patsy and Grandpa Jim said Happy Birthday and her card will come soon with her gift inside. Love Always!!!
