Fiona's Birthday Party

L.O.L dolls. Fiona picked out her theme ages ago, and she stuck with it! Sometimes I wish that her birthday was closer to her sisters' birthdays, but it is what it is! Fiona starts talking about and planning her birthday when Kate has her birthday in January.

We made the invitations.

We were very excited because Fiona only invited four friends, and they were all able to come. Fiona requested a L.O.L. pinata and a L.O.L. cake.

The party got off to a "funny" start. Everyone was late. I had forgotten that one of her friends was coming after a class, one friend got lost, and we later learned that one friend wouldn't be coming at all because she and her Mom had been involved in a car accident. (Thankfully no one was hurt in the crash!) So at first it seemed that no one was coming.

Kate and Ken made up an awesome scavenger hunt to find the hidden pinata, and Fiona and her friends loved it. Kate did an awesome job leading the girls through the clues.

Ken, ever the brave Daddy, held the pinata pole, and was only smacked in the hand once! We did two rounds of everyone whacking the pinata until Kate was allowed to demolish it!

 

We had snacks and pizza.

 Then Fiona opened her presents.

Emily did some dancing and entertaining - she pretended she was a princess and the girls were screaming and laughing with delight.

Then it was cake time.

Fiona loved her party and had a really fun day. I love our low-key homemade birthday parties.

Fiona's Birth-Day

Fiona's "birth"day fun started the night before. On Wednesday night while her sisters were at Activity Days, Fiona and I went shopping. She picked out her birthday presents (we did the same thing last year), picked up loot-bag stuff, and all the party supplies.

 After the girls went to bed I started the pinata.

 

On Thursday, I asked Ken if he replayed Fiona's birth day, on her birthday. He said no. I figure this must be a mom thing. Fiona opened up her presents in the morning before I left for work. She knew that she picked out L.O.L. dolls, but of course the doll is always a surprise!

After school I picked up the girls, Ken met us at home, and then we all just stopped moving. The plan was to go to Grandma's, picking up Wendy's on the way - Fiona's choice for dinner, eat, and then leave the girls for the night with Grandma. There was a P.D. Day for the girls on Friday and neither Ken nor I could take the day - yay for Grandma!

Before we left Fiona and I took a couple of pictures outside.

Things did pretty much go according to plan. Except that everyone was a little tired, and everything happened a little later. Fiona was clearly over-tired, either that, or she had a case of "it's my party and I'll cry if I want to".

Fiona gave Grandma a run for her money at bedtime, but eventually the girls all fell asleep, and Grandma got to sleep too!

Fiona is our funny monkey. She is feisty and loving, funny and silly, she loves to play, she loves her sisters. She has very strong opinions. I can't imagine our family without her.  Happy 6th Birthday!!
