Tracy does this special thing for the kids' birthdays. He waits for the kids to go to bed. He then breaks out the streamers, tape, balloons, and the gorilla ladder. This is what Aleana woke up to:
She got to have a "big" birthday party this year (we don't have big parties every year). She was allowed to invite a few friends. She really, really wanted a slumber party. We really, really didn't want to have to deal with that. So we settled on a camping theme.
Thank you Dairy Queen!
Mini-bonfire :)
Part of the camping theme. We set up the tent, and played games outside. We had sling-shot shooting contests, ball tossing games, crafts in the tent. Good stuff and cheap.
This year, Aleana wanted to get a rabbit. We let her pick out a Jersey Wooly rabbit through her 4h program, but it wasn't ready to leave it's mama. So she couldn't open a present from us. But, she did receive money from grandparents, and was able to purchase this. It was a big hit with her friends.
And her dad :)
These pics crack me up, because Tracy was chasing Aleana. She darted into the tent, thinking she was safe. She should have known better. Tracy followed her in. All I heard was muffled laughs. Awesome.
This was the after party. We left the tent up for a few days. After all that work, we had to make it worth the effort.
Happy Birthday Aleana Mae!
