A Friend Party for Megan

Megan’s birthday was in the beginning of April but with so much going on we couldn’t figure out a party time until the end of the month.  As it was we had five soccer games that day.  Luckily a friend offered to give Ryan a ride up to Denver for his game so I had a couple of afternoon hours to pull everything together for Megan and the girls. 

This cute little frame is my future summer extra job chart but I thought I’d use it for her party.  Katie helped me by printing out cards with all of the party activities.  Each girl got to take a turn picking what we would do next.  I asked Katie and her friend Brooklyn to be in charge of games and to help with crowd control – which worked out great!!

First, Tacos for dinner.

Next someone picked ‘Say Happy Birthday to Megan!’ and then ‘Open Presents’ from the birthday chart.  Megan got some fun things from her friends…

An art set from Brooklyn, books from Naomi (both friends from Germany) painting horses kit and extra rubber bands from Sydney, a doll hair kit from Brynnley, a gift card from Sara, and a bag to color from Lizzy.  Claire couldn’t come to the party but she stopped by earlier and dropped off her present… a cute purse and lip gloss… which was so nice of her.  Megan has a great group of friends here.  There’s roughly 25 girls in her Activity Days Group. 

After ‘Opening Presents’ someone picked ‘Play Pictionary’ so we moved to the dining room to play.

Next picked was to ‘Give Megan a big hug’ and then ‘Eat brownies’.

Katie and Brooklyn took the girls downstairs to ‘Play Twister’ and goof around until their parents came while I tied tags on these jars and cleaned the kitchen.  Love those teens.   Once all the girls left then I took Ryan to a Multi-Stake Dance and then dropped Brooklyn off – all while Chris worked downstairs the entire evening.  Busy day, but glad we fit in a fun party for Megan!  Love that girl.
