Charis' Birthday Party

Finally, I was able to get the pictures off our broken camera. So now I have a bunch of catching up to do.

Charis' Birthday Party

We decided to have Charis' birthday party at the Wildflower Center but I still really wanted to decorate the house for her when she woke up. She loves the balloons and decoration.
We all ate breakfast together and then headed off to the Wildflower Center for her party. Sommer and I had decorated the "little house" the day before so we got there in time to blow up some balloons. Once people began arriving, we started making bag puppets. Kris and I cut out all the pieces before hand and the kids got to glue them on and decorate them. It was a lot of fun and the kids seemed to really enjoy it.
Then the kids played a little and danced.
Next, we read Charis' favorite book and the inspiration for the party theme... Dragon dancing. It is a book about a little girl on her birthday who goes to school and her teacher reads a book about dragons. Then the kids decorate dragon parts including a birthday dragon hat and go off into this imaginary world of dragon dancing.Then we made dragon hats.
Then cake and presents...
I made a butterfly cake, cupcakes and a round cake. Charis loved it!
Then we opened all the amazing presents. And as the kids were leaving they got a chance to dig around in the sand for insects to take home.
It was a great party and we all had lots of fun!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARIS!
WE LOVE YOU!
