It's My Party.......

We were so lucky we had scheduled Rian's party for two weeks after her actual birthday.  Right after her birthday was when we were hit with the worst floods in Colorado history.  But on the morning of the party, the skies were clear and the sun was shining. 

Rian decided she wanted a zebra-themed pizza making party. So we bought pink chefs hats and aprons for the girls to decorate and Hayden spent all morning hanging pink, white and black streamers all over the house.   

All set and ready to go.

 

Pre-party jitters were lessoned with a few snuggles from the cat.

You can't see Rian's skirt, but she too is wearing white, black and pink.

The girls had fun designing their aprons and hats and took their time creating some really cute pictures and designs.

 

Ready to roll!

Everyone made their own personal size pizza with their favorite toppings and then we went outside to play some party games while Dad baked the pizzas for everyone.

The girls had to move the hula hoop around the entire circle while holding hands and not letting go. 

The mummy-wrap game was a big hit.  In teams of two, the girls had to run to the other side of the yard, and one of the girls had to "dress" the other team member up as a mummy using an entire roll of toilet paper before running back to the finish line.

Jaz and Rian made great partners.

After the girls were done, they came inside to eat their creations!

And open presents. 

And have some zebra brownies.

Towards the end of the party, we went out front and played several games with water balloons. (Most of which ended up as water balloon fights!) .

The favorite game of the day was the Donut-on-a-String game where two girls competed against each other at a time to see who could finish their donut the fastest (without using their hands). 


 

There were lots of giggles and powdered sugar noses during this game!


It was a beautiful day and we were so happy to be able to throw Rian a birthday party for her and her closest friends.
