This year we felt that it was time to do a big party for Kaitlyn with her classmates. And I felt like her best chance at success would be a party at our house. So we set out to plan an OUTDOOR party. Bounce house, activities outside, it was going to be awesome. The invitations went out to her entire Kindergarten class:
But then we saw the weather forecast. Rain and wind... So no Bounce House :(.... And I was left to scramble a week before the party. Luckily we were able to come up with a backup plan.
When the kids arrived we did some crafts. Inside. Gulp. It was fine though. They decorated Peppa Pig faces.
And then.... My backup plan... ELSA arrived! Hailey and I had been at a party the month before where Elsa and Anna came and sang so we were so fortunate to be able to book Elsa at the last minute.
Kaitlyn was super excited, but a little shy at first.
And how cute are these kids? The one in yellow wore that color because she knew it was Kaitlyn's favorite. Her name is Grace and they are sweet together. Coincidentally I met Grace's mom at the first PTO meeting so I'm glad that our kids ended up liking each other.
Elsa sange 2 songs for the group.
And then they played a game of Hot Potato with Olaf.
Hailey got out first but that meant she got to stand with Elsa!
The kids all got to take pictures with Elsa.
I paid way too much for these cookies... At least they tasted good.
But I got a bargain of a cake from Target. Their cakes are so yummy.
This is Kaitlyn's friend Izzy from last year in PPCD. Ms. Anna told us how sweet the girls were together so we reached out and invited her. Too bad she is at Wilderness Oaks Elementry this year.
The kids were all sweet and helped Kaitlyn open the gifts. She didn't mind the help at all!
At the end of the day it was the longest 2 hours of my life (LOL) but the party was a success! I was so relieved and happy that a small group of nice kids showed up and celebrated Kaitlyn's birthday with her.
