Megan's party

The girls had a day off school on Friday, so we decided to hold Megan's birthday party during the day for something fun to do!  Thirteen of her 14 girl classmates were able to make it! 

Party decor.

 The party was mostly outside in the front yard.  Katie & Megan set up ladder ball, bean bag toss, hula hoops, jump ropes, sidewalk chalk, soccer, baseball, & more all around the yard.  The girls had a blast trying everything out.  Then we came inside to decorate (and eat) cupcakes!

Then we shooed the girls back outside to eat their ice cream bars and play some more.

Everyone came back in to play a game of Freeze Dance to "Tonight's Gonna Be a Good Night", and then Megan opened presents.

All of Megan's friends!  What a fun party!  (Katie's friend came to help out with crowd control)

And of course some of the kids wound up in the back yard, catching frogs and toads.  We have a LOT of big ones this year!

It was a great party, but between the cleaning/decorating/setup, the party itself, and two ballet practices that night, we were pooped.  We were all in bed VERY early last night!
