Charlotte requested a Wild Kratts, animal-themed birthday. It was a really fun theme to work with and lots of possibilities. The birthday tradition begins with baking the cake the day before.
Charlotte opened presents from mom and dad on her birthday morning. She was super excited about her new karaoke machine, microphone, and tons of music. First up - Frozen!
We made the frosting and decorated the cakes. Charlotte loved figuring out the perfect spot for each animal.
Next up, the birthday party. We had so many great friends there. They had a few animal-themed games, including one in which they had to guess what animal they were. Then they had to locate their animal partner blindfolded across the yard by making their animal noise.
They also had a team challenge game - lilypad crossing. They had to get from one end of the yard to the other without touching the grass. The teamwork began when they realized they didn't have enough lilypads to reach from one side to the other and they had to get creative.
The winners of "pin the nose on the lion" with Charlotte: Mason, Hadley, and Lyla.
Singing happy birthday...
With Edison, Colby, and Margaret and sporting a new hat from Mason and Colby.
Later we celebrated with Granddaddy Herbert and Marsha with a lovely dinner al fresco. Charlotte enjoyed her new books and Legos!
