Katie Belle had been asking for a birthday party F.O.R.E.V.E.R. But we don't do birthday parties. But did that stop her? No. Not a bit. She poured over every Oriental Trading catalog that came and she began planning her own party. I couldn't help admiring her persistence and I finally gave in and helped her plan. She wanted a Carnival Birthday party. My friend had thrown one for her son and she had gone ALL OUT. We're talking pony rides and everything! Yeah, that's what Katie Belle wanted. So the plans began. Luckily, Katie Belle is easy to please. :) Although my friend offered to get the pony from her dad, we didn't have to have the pony. Thank heavens! :)
We borrowed games, we made games (PLINKO, anyone?), we got prizes, we got food and we had a party! It turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. The big hit? Shooting the dollar store bow with suction cup arrows at the stuffed tiger target! Who knew?! Katie Belle and the kids loved it! And actually the boy who'd had THE party went and told his mom ours was better. Woo Hoo!
Oh, we love you Katie Belle! Thanks for being persistent, crazy, fun and happy. Thanks for being a party planner and taking your mom out of her comfort zone every once in a while. She may not love it, but it's good for her. She definitely needs a Katie Belle in her life! :)
Happy 8th Birthday, Katie Belle!
