Makadie's 3rd Birthday Party~~

We had a blast at Makadie's Party~ (We had to postpone it a week due to icky sick people at our house---mainly ME!) Her theme was Bugs! Here some of the decorations!

A Giant Flower with Butterflies! A beehive with cute little bees! I had plans to do ladybugs on a leaf, ants on an ant hill, and spiders in a web---but ran out of time! I loved how the decorations turned out and plan to hang them up in the playroom to enjoy them a bit longer!
We started the party by having the "Ants go Marching" around the Ginormous pile of leaves in the front yard! Then the kids got to jump in them and throw them everywhere! A fun tradition at Makadie's Birthday Party! Next we went on a bug Treasure Hunt in the back yard! I read clues and the kids ran around the yard finding the treasure bags with their Magnifying glasses. Then we opened all the treasures and put them in their party bags!




Next we made bug hats! The kids loved doing this, though not all of them liked to wear them--but we got them to keep them on for a picture!
Next we opened presents! This year we had Makadie open presents from us on her actual birthday. This kept the present opening shorter and more under controlat her party! Makadie got some really fun things! A Dora Backpack filled with card games, a Princess Memory Match Game, a Gift Certificate to Build-A-Bear, Fun Halloween socks, a Look-n-See (toy you put the circle cards in and it turns to see different pictures), paints and a paint pad, little ponies, and fun cards! Thanks to all of Makadie's friends for all the neat stuff!

Next PIZZA TIME! We had french bread pizzas with Juice and Strawberries! It was yummy and the kids loved eating outside!

Coleman brought home Makadie flowers on her birthday! She felt like such a special and big girl to get flowers just for her!

I know that Makadie's hair is in her face during her party--I was so busy putting on the party that I did not notice and Coleman was nice enough to get her ready--and he really doesn't do hair----YET!
