Since Jennifer wasn't allowed to invite herself over to someone's house for her birthday party, we went to an indoor playground instead. It was pricier this time with new management...so maybe this was the last time!
She liked knowing what to expect!
When we got home she had been given a craft gift, so that had to be made!
There were lots, as it was a party package...so everyone could make one. Or two!
And my favourite kind of birthday cake is not a cake at all, but pie! Pumpkin pie was Jennifer's choice! We covered it it whipped cream! Mmm!
Melanie had made a piñata but it wasn't made very early and the papier-mâché was taking too long to dry so I put it out in the sunshine to speed it up.
Yay it's ready!
We had fun whacking at it, with a broom handle.
The older kids had to be blindfolded..but it was easier just to be covered.
The piñata held out for a long time because it was still damp and do it bent instead of cracked...which made the hard work last longer. :)
Evelyn did not participate, but remained an observer.
Except when there was candy to be shared!
She was spoiled by her siblings who made her various things to enjoy.
And a beautiful new dress...I think she is wondering how it will fit!
Oh, that's who the dress is for!
Six years has flown by and Jennifer is really growing! We love her generosity and her determination...when she is determined to do things we approve of! Jennifer is full of life, a vibrant addition to our family, a blessing from God!
