We started celebrating Katelyn's birthday by taking the girls to Lollipop Park. They had fun riding all the carnival rides. She also wanted to go to Jim 'n Nick's for dinner because she loves their cheese muffins. Katelyn got a lot of presents she loved.
She was too funny to watch with her mp3 player. She sang and danced around all day and if you talked to her she would talk way too loud back. It made Nate and I laugh.
She loves to build with Legos and she loves this girl version of them.
I made Apple Caramel Popcorn balls (
here) and she took these to school with her for her class. We tied them up real cute with a green ribbon so they looked like an apple.
My friend Megan had the cutest party for her daughter a few years ago and I knew I wanted to do something similar this year for Katelyn. I had so much fun putting this together. We sent out lollipop invitations.
These lollipops lined our yard.
Our sweet shop.
We colored pictures of gumball machines when they first arrived to make name tags for there party favor bag. Then we played pass the lifesaver which you do with chopsticks and had an obstacle course they had to go through while carrying a gumball on a spoon. We then played Candyland and had a bean bag toss. As we played these games they earned coins so they could buy party favors from the baskets. They could choose from candy bracelets, cupcake charms, pop rocks, crayon pencils, lipgloss, nail polish, stickers (of coarse all candy themed).
We had cupcakes and fruit for a snack.
We opened presents and ran out of time to play bingo. It was fun to see her with her friends. She invited Sadie and her cousin, three friends from church , and four friends from school. I think the past week for her has been pretty SWEET! Happy 7th Birthday!
