Party Time

Kendal's 10th birthday was celebrated with a zebra print themed "Backyard Campout" party.  

Kendal planned this party for months and didn't skip a beat when it came to all the details (I have a miniature Kaylie on my hands).

We split the girls into two teams and went on a scavenger hunt. Each girl on the  winning team got a mason jar full of candy.

The girls ate and ate and ate...

{S'mores trail mix made of Golden Graham cereal, marshmallows, and chocolate chips}

{hot dogs, hamburgers, french fries and tater tots for dinner}

The girls cuddled up in their chairs to eat popcorn, drink hot chocolate, and watch the movie "Monte Carlo" in the backyard.

And have an impromptu dance party afterwards...

After the movie, each girl got their own mini flashlight to use on a bug hunt (we hid fake bugs around the front yard and back yard for them to find).

There was around 100 bugs hid, and Hannah was our winner that night with 12 bugs being found.  Jason has since become the winner with 14 bugs found within the past week after the party!

Speaking of Jason, he was commissioned to make these adorable chairs for the girls to sit on.
He did the pvc piping and painting of the chairs, and I did the sewing.
 (I finally learned how to sew, hooray!)

They turned out really cute and the girls had fun sitting on them while they roasted marshmallows.

Big thanks to Jason and Mike for all of their help!

It was such a fun party.  Not sure how we are going to top this one next year!

Happy Birthday Kendal!
