Lilah's 7th Birthday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILAH!

This year, Lilah had a party at the local Michael's store.  IT WAS AMAZING!  The price was great and the best part....NO CLEAN UP!  Lilah invited friends to help her celebrate her special day and they all painted on canvas, did a melty bead design, ate cookie cake and helped Li to open her birthday gifts.  Miss Taylor, who works for Michael's, was an amazing coordinator for the party.

The kids did a fantastic job!

Wyatt REALLY LOVED painting

Look at all the beautiful artwork!

Melty Bead Time.  There are plastic tray designs (circle, start, heart) with little pins sticking up that the children set beads on, using any color they'd like. Once they've filled up the tray, they take it to Miss Taylor and she places a plastic sheet on top of it and irons the beads down onto the plastic sheet.

Chase did a great job on his melty bead!

This is social time - everyone whip out your iPhone!

Lilah asked her friends to help her blow out the candles.

This is Marielle's first time ever having cookie-cake, therefor, the number one!

EVERY gift Lilah received she loved.  Already, we've created a lot of art projects that are so much fun!

Wyatt got to walk around the store a few times - this is what he found.

Lilah had her friend, Vandy, spend the night.  It was a great night.  The girls watched the movie, Muppets, and had popcorn.  WHAT A GREAT DAY!

Wyatt even watched with them!

Thank you to everyone who helped and who came!  You really made a great day even more special for my little 7 year old!  (It's hard to believe she is 7 already!!)

OH, and a side note...In Lilah's classroom there are only January birthdays...

ALL THREE ARE JANUARY 17th!!!!  WHAT ARE THE ODDS!?!?!
