Mia's Birthday Party

Mia's party was a lot of fun, and definitely worth the extra week of cleaning, purchasing and cupcake eating baking. The party started out with a little horse decorating, where the kiddos got to color faces on their hobby horses and then they took them to Patrick to add the stick and bandana. Then, outside, we had swings, panning for gold in the sandbox, bean bag and ring toss games, a chalk drawing and bubble blowing station, snacks and juice boxes. Later a hot dog lunch was served along with cupcakes and a pinata finale. The pinata did not burst forth with it's goods, however, and we had to tear it to get the goodies out. But it was sure fun for the kids trying to hit it. Mia had a great time seeing her friends that she's missed over the summer and loved her party - we were so lucky to have many of her friends available for a second date.

And here's a funny video of the Pinata Whacking:
