Birthday Party for Abbie!

Abbie wanted a birthday party at the park this year (hooray for our budget). I told her we could just do a bunch of fun birthday games and she was super excited. It ended up being a great party and all the girls had so much fun. The first game we did was a water relay race where they had to fill up their sponge with water, then run to their teams bowl and squeeze out as much water as they could. It was so cute they wanted to play it twice. I handed out point coupons for every game so everyon felt like winners and then at the end of the party, they traded in their points to pick out a prize from an assortment that I had. So, everyone got to take home a prize.


Another game we did was inspired by that minute to win it show. They had to rub vaseline on their nose then when we said go, they had to dip their nose into a bowl of cotton balls and "drop" the cotton ball into an empty bowl by shaking it off their nose. Whoever did the most the fastest was the winner. We did this game in groups of 4 so there were multiple winners.

This game was the favorite of the party by far. I had 4 or 5 different nailpolish colors that I handed out randomly to the girls while they had their bare feet in the middle of a circle. We turned on the music and they passed the nail polish around. When the music stopped, if you had nailpolish in your hand, you painted your first toes that color. By the end, everyone had a rainbow of colored toenails.


We also did a three leged race that was really cute, but I missed taking pics of that.
