Tonight we had Halle's 7th birthday party. I'd say it was a success! She had some fun ideas and I tried to make it all happen, including a special appearance from Luke that was quite hilarious and fun.
It was a pajama party/pizza party. We painted nails, watched a fun movie, and made these cupcake creations Halle saw on a YouTube channel where you make cupcakes that look like a hamburger and French fries. And then, there was the Santa visit.
Here's where that idea came from. For probably six months Luke and Halle have been talking about an idea where Luke comes to Halle's birthday party dressed as Santa and passes out presents to her friends. At first I thought the idea was just kind of funny and that it would pass, but they kept talking about it as her birthday got closer, and then I remembered Dixie had a Santa costume so I thought, why not? Why wouldn't we incorporate Santa into an August birthday party? But really, I figured the kids would love it and it was something different, so we went for it! Luke had a lot of fun with it, along with his friend Brennan who dresses up as an elf, and the girls LOVED it. They were all laughing hysterically. It was the highlight of the night. Here's some pictures from the party
Today we went and got new PJs for the party. Luke got some new Star Wars pj pants :).
The finished cupcakes!
A visit from a very jolly and silly Santa. The girls thought it was hilarious.
Luke, Mr, Sweetooth, couldn't wait long to eat his hamburger and fries
