Birthday breakfast.
Monkey bread and OJ.
Getting ready for the party (:
Woodland birthday party.
Complete with gnomes.
We had a full house!
Svea wanted games.
First there was a hunt for clues to lead to treasure (the treasure was the gnome hats).
We had an obstacle course, a gnome bean relay, and what party is complete without pin-the-beard-on-the-gnome?
Even our littlest party guests had fun.
Nate made Viggo's turn a little more challenging.
Svea is so old she already has some whiskers!
We even had some adult participation (:
Presents!
A lifetime supply of girly legos.
Cake!
Making hedgehogs out of gum paste is now something else I can add to my résumé.
After most of the partygoers went on their way, some stayed for a just-for-her handcrafted Disney Princess deck-building card game made by our friend, Matthew. What a treat!!
After the game, lego building commenced.
God has blessed us for 8 wonderful years with this sunny, creative little girl. We are looking forward to another wonderful year with her! We love you so much, Svea!!
