shailey's birthday party

It's been awhile since my last post and I feel awful that I haven't posted a thing about Shailey's birthday! She turned 7 on January 29th and here we are in March. I guess I can't do it all! We celebrated Shailey's birthday with a party. She wanted it to be a "Fairy Party" so I did my best to think of games and activities that would fit into the fairy theme. We just invited a few friends from church. I said no school friends...I know that sounds mean but if we invited one school friend we would have had to invite them all and I don't think I could have handled that many girls all at once!


The girls decorated their goody bags...



...and were given clues to find all the "Lost Things" that would go inside them (their goodies).



They had to play games to earn their "Lost Things", like Fairy Freeze (musical statues)...





...and Fairy, Fairy, Hawk (Duck, Duck, Goose).




I was "Fairy Mary" along with my fairy cute little helper (who was so sweet during that entire two hours that she was deprived of eating--judging from her cheeks I think she was fine!)




They made bracelets...





...and played Musical Mushrooms (Musical Chairs)...


...and Fairy Mary, May I? (Mother, May I?).


And the best part--cupcake decorating...




...and eating!



And here's where the boys were during the party--inside watching episodes of Transformers. (Because fairy stuff is icky, and we're men!)

Shailey is sure lucky to have had such a great party. It looks like everyone had a great time. I have to say that I love the pictures of the boys, though...."fairie stuff is icky, and we're men" too funny!

That looks like such a cute little party! I completely understand the school friends thing, good idea.
