Since 8 is such a big birthday year for us I finally had a little friend party for Zoey. This is the first friend party we have done for any of our kids. They really just aren't my thing and it gets expensive and the kids have always been perfectly fine with family parties. I thought 8 was a good starting point. I let Zoey choose who she wanted to invite and she kept her list small, just 6 people. Only half of them could make it but they all had a great time together. I enjoyed it being on the smaller side. It was less chaotic and I think more enjoyable for the girls. Zoey was happy and pleased with how it went so that is really all that matters. It was a fun afternoon.
Pumpkin painting was the activity. The girls were excited. It's great having a birthday at the beginning of October and the birthday girl loving Halloween. It makes for easy decorating and ideas.
Zoey had planned for a couple months to have chocolate fondue for her birthday. We decided instead of for the family party it would be fun to do with a few of her friends. We were all 3 of these girls first exposure to it. They LOVED it!
I put out bananas, strawberries, apples, angel food cake, graham crackers, pretzels, and big marshmallows. They amount of food I laid out made me think there was no way they would even put a dent in it. I was wrong. These girls packed it in. Almost everything I put out was gone by the time they were done. I hope no one threw up later. :)
After chowing on delicious treats dipped in chocolate Zoey opened her couple gifts.
Of course the active 8 month old had to see what the heck was going on.
It took all 4 girls to pull the ribbon off this one.
I'm so glad the party was a success and everyone had a great time.
