First Friend Birthday Party

I decided this year that it was time to throw the girls their first friend birthday party.  They've been to a few of their friends parties and always had such a fun time.  They were so excited at the thought of a birthday party but when I asked them who we should invite they started naming cousins and Aunt Jennifer.  They named a few friends but when I started mentioning others names they kept telling me no.  Ha ha.  I think it's the fact that they are twins and usually just play with each other that they don't really have the need to reach out and make friends...much to my dismay...but it is what it is at this point.  So I ended up inviting all the girls in their dance class, the 3 girls in Sunbeams, a neighbor girl and cousins their age.  They even invited Jaron on one condition "Only if he doesn't whine and cry." Then they insisted on Jennifer and Abbey coming so I invited them to come and help! :) 

We id a Paw Patrol themed party.  They are soo obsessed with Paw Patrol right now.  It's literally the only thing that we watch right now.  They've named all the family after the characters (Mom=Zuma, Dad=Chase, Siena=Skye, Aria=Ryder and Jaron=Rubble.)  I got a Paw Patrol cake topper and had some fun Paw Patrol take home goodies.  I was surprised how much Paw Patrol stuff I found.  Even all the paper goods were Paw Patrol.

The party was so fun. We ended up with 11 girls including Siena and Aria.  We played Pass the Paw, Freeze dance, and Pin the badge on the Pup.  Then we ate pizza, cake and presents.  After each game the girls would all run over and play on the swing set.  It was fun to see them all playing together and piling onto the swingset.  They all got along but did great participating.  A fun group of friends.

It was a fun evening and I know Siena and Aria thought it was the greatest thing ever and I think all the kids had fun as well.
