Today was Caty's birthday party with her friends. It's the first friends party she's ever had. We had it at a little store in town that does birthday parties. It was really nice. All I had to bring was the kids and a cake - they supply everything else (the kids had to bring their own Webkinz, too). Here are some pictures from today:

Here is the birthday girl before the party. She was so excited today. She picked out a pretty dressed and actually brushed her hair without having to be asked!


Caty with her cake. We were supposed to have a party with my mom and siblings today, but last minute cancellations ended up postponing that party. Bill and I had purchased a big cake for that party that we were now stuck with. I brought it to the friends party and shared it with the birthday kids, the hostess, her helpers, etc. EVERYONE got a piece of cake - LOL! Later we went to my mom's and ate more of it there. Bill and I ended up with about 1/3 of it after all was said and done - not too bad.


Here is Caty with some of her presents. She only got two Webkinz (thank goodness!). She was thrilled with all of the nice things she got - a stamp set, a purse with some lip gloss, Webkinz clothes, markers, and a new horse/doll set.

Each kid got to choose some fleece and make a bed for their Webkinz. It was a "no sew" project. I ended up tying three beds myself - the kids were a little young and had some trouble. They LOVED the stuffing machine, though.













The hostess had some fun, Webkinz themed games. Here is the Wheel of Wow and Quizzy's Corner. Each kid got a prize in each game that was played - they walked out with a self made "goodie bag".













This is everyone. Not a great shot. The lady that was running the party was taking a photo at the same time and the kids were looking at her. The photo she took turned out really nice.
