Mariana's Party

We finally had Mariana's birthday party last night. She chose to have girls her own age over for a girly party, and I was actually brave enough to make the cake myself! Here it is after the first round of decorating (my part)...

Then it was Mariana's turn to add some flair

 

The girls started out with Hello Kitty coloring pages

Then the scavenger hunt (they had a fun list of items including a bug and a strand of orange hair ;) )

Then musical chairs

A little dinner together

Freeze dance

Time for the candles and cake

And finally, the gifts

They all had a great time, and not pictured was a crazy game Austin played with them called "Dancing Fever." It was so funny. We had girls running around with high pitched screams and squeals resounding! So glad Daddy could come to her party. He was originally scheduled to be out of town, but his trip was moved up a day, so he returned just in time! Happy birthday, sweet Mariana. We love you, and you are growing into such a beautiful little lady!
