Happy Birthday, Beta!

Yesterday was Beta's 5th birthday! We had her friends from preschool and some family members over to celebrate. There were 12 kids ages 7 and under. Whew! The party went great! Afterwards, Alpha had another basketball game. Needless to say, this post is a little late....

I'll save my 1000 words and let the pictures do the talking.

Pin, uh I mean, "stick" the tail on the donkey.

Happy Birthday! Whoosh!
My favorite part! We played a game of "Follow the Yellow Brick Road". I made it up. It was kinda like a cake walk. You had to land on the yellow square that had the ruby slippers on it. We used music from the movie. After the game, all the kids started watching the movie! They were very still and quiet so we just let them watch it a little bit. Perfect!

Beta and one of her friends from preschool. Aren't they cute?

Now, for a trip down memory lane!

*The Dorothy dress. Beta originally wanted a Wizard of Oz party. But Party City and Walmart don't stock Wizard of Oz stuff. But they DO stock horses. So she had horse cups, plates, and napkins, along with a horse cake. But she wore her Dorothy dress. Hey, if you can't wear a Dorothy dress on your birthday, when can you do it? (Besides Halloween......) :)
