The 1/2 Birthday Party

Avery turned 4 1/2 this week and Taylor turned 1/2. And Avery was obsessed with 1/2 birthdays - She wanted to have a huge Scooby Doo party and invite all of her friends. So we settled on a small party at home with G, Papa, Grammy, KJ and Uncle Cullen. Avery spent all afternoon decorating and setting up. She created a "Pin the Ponytail on Avery" game along with lots of other games. Some were board/card games and others were things like "put the rubber snake in a basket and twirl it around". G and Avery drew pictures to hang up and Avery made name tags for everyone. Once people arrived Avery said it was "chat time". Then we played some games and one game was standing in a circle around yellow Bunchems and pretending they were the sun and we had to meditate and sing a song about the sun. I made chicken noodle soup and we all ate and then had cake and ice cream. I had the cake decorated so 1/2 was for Avery and 1/2 was for Taylor. After dessert, we had a short dance party and then everyone headed out. Avery was just SO excited and into it that it was a blast celebrating with her!!
