FUN WITH FRIENDS- BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION WITH FRIENDS


 Brooke and I had tons of fun planning her ninth-birthday party! Brooke requested the theme to be     " Cotton Candy ", since Grandma and Grandpa Pack gave her a cotton candy machine of her very own, last year for her birthday. We thought it would be a great chance to bring it out for some sugary fun! Brooke invited a few girls from her class at school and the house was full of laughter and girly squeals.





The first game the girls played was a game that I played at my childhood birthday parties. The object of the relay race is to keep your cotton ball stuck to the straw that you are sucking into, all the way to the bowl at the end of the hall. The girls were put into teams, and the winner team got to choose some fun prizes!



It was quite hilarious because Will- the four-year old was the very best at this game! Will was an asset to his team, being faster down the hall- dropping the cotton ball in the bowl and rushing back into line!



Next, the girls played " pin the horn on the unicorn ". We decided the party wouldn't be complete without something " unicorn " themed, since Brooke has such a love for unicorns ;)






Next we played, " Who can eat the gummy worm off a string the fastest? " Also another childhood game that my Mom did at a couple of my birthday parties. It was super fun to watch my daughter play games that I remember having so much fun doing!



Finally it was time to make the cotton candy, and of course Grandpa was such a help making all the cotton candy for the girls. The girls then took their cotton candy and topped it onto an ice cream cone; put a face on the cone, and decorated the " cotton candy hair " of their " cotton candy people."
Brooke and I practiced doing this the weekend before, and it proved to be more successful with less hyper girls running around; but they still had fun decorating their people with candy and frosting.









                                                       Then it was time for cake!


                              Brooke has had three birthday wishes this year for her birthday!



                               Elise and Brooke are such sweet friends always laughing together.
                         Brooke has nicknamed Elise, " weasel ", and when Brooke saw Elise had
                           signed , " From weasel " on the birthday tag- they both had a laugh ;)


                             I love you Brooke! I am glad you had so much fun with your friends!
Sorry my camera has been broken again and these pictures had to be taken by my cell phone, making them a little blurry....
