Because he loves music and dancing so much, we decided to have a music themed birthday party for Colin. We make music note cookies, xylophone and drum cakes, and had music themed activities for the kids.
We played musical chairs when the kids all got here. Brenna and Alaina were always the winners!
The kids each decorated a drum and chose colored drumsticks to take home with them. We also had recorders, hand cymbals, and music themed pencils...and earplugs for the parents!
Colin, stealing Ryleigh's drumsticks:
The big girls getting ready for the music parade with flowers in their hair.
They all took turns pretty well riding in the wagon, pulling the wagon and being the leader!
And switching instruments! They are such good kids!
Colin's friends helped him open his presents since he was too little to do it himself. :)
Eating citrus ice, one of his favorite things!
And getting ready to eat cake....
Yum!
Afterwards, Brenna got to help take down decorations by popping balloons with a pin! She was unsure for the first couple, but really loved it after that!
We are so lucky so many of our family and friends were able to come!
Colin didn't have the patience to open all his presents during the party, so we saved the gifts from family members until later in the evening. The basketball goal are from Grandpa and Nana and I think
everyone enjoyed that present!
