Puppy Party

Bailey had her much anticipated "Puppy Party" on Saturday. It was her first 'real' (non-family) birthday party ever. Her friends, Emery, Ethan, Mallory, KyLei, Kolten, Ty, and Ellie all came. We made puppy ears, played 'pin the tail on the dog,' and all sorts of fun dog things like...
...hot dogs and Doritos for lunch, and Ice Cream and Bones (cookies and rice krispy treats in the shape of dog bones) for dessert...
..."Obedience School" (Simon Says, and they had to do dog tricks)
..."FETCH" with tennis balls...
..."Dog, Dog, Cat" (duck/duck-goose) and "Hot Dog" (hot potato)...
...and a "dog" pinata (actually it was a 'burro' but it was the closest thing to a dog we could find).
The Pinata was the thing Bailey was most excited for. We filled it with her favorites...Skittles and Starbursts!
...FOUR new Littlest Pet shops (all dog themed!), and Puppy in my Pocket- Puppy Palace (it's like Polly Pocket, but dogs). As you can see from her face, Bailey was thrilled about her presents! She also said her party was "the best day ever," which made it all worth it for me in the end. By the way, notice...no Benson in the pictures...BLESS GUH W.'S HEART! Benson had a hot date with Guh. She came and picked him up and babysat him (ON HER B-DAY!) during the party! It was a HUGE help! Thanks, Guh!
*Also- here's thanks to our mother's who threw us birthday parties! It is truly a labor of love, and a serious test of nerves!*

What fun it looks like everyone had! And so did I--it's been years since I heard the song. Can see how much work and effort you put into Bailey's party--it's a day she'll remember forever, Mom!!!!
