If I told you it was a My Little Pony party would you change your mind?
Gwen woke up bright and early on her birthday (in my and Scott's bed, of course) and had her breakfast in bed. When I offer her anything in the world for breakfast what does she want? Bacon, toast and orange juice. She's a simple girl with simple needs.
Her birthday fell on MLK day this year, so it was a school holiday. By 11 a.m. we were welcoming a house full of little girls. Here is Gwen coming down the stairs to greet her first guest.
Lovers of the TV Show, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (and don't pretend that you're not one of them), know that each pony has a cutie mark. So each of our little guests got to choose the cutie mark they wanted and either Brenna or I painted it on their cheeks.
Sure, she's 11 and way too cool for most things these days, but big sis wanted her own cutie mark when she was done painting the little girls'.
Allie, Lila, Gwen, Lily and Carlin posing before lunch. Gwen wanted fancy sandwiches, fruit and veggies with dip.
After lunch we played pin the tail on the pony. The Pinkie Pie artwork was courtesy of the talented Brenna. She was a fantastic help for this little shindig.
No birthday would be complete without a piñata!
Brenna came in handy again. After everyone had a chance to take a whack at Pinkie Pie, Brenna put her softball skills into action and demolished it. Candy for everyone!
Then came cake and ice cream. I was a little disappointed in my cake decorating skills (yet again) but my kids assured me that they liked it and it was nowhere near worthy of an appearance on Cake Wrecks.
Blowing out the candles.
After cake and ice cream we played musical chairs and opened presents.
Happy birthday, Gwennie Goose, and thank you to all your sweet friends who helped make the party so much fun!
