Elizabeth's 9th Birthday Party

Elizabeth had a unicorn birthday party! Of course, we picked the absolute worst day of the whole year to have her birthday. There was an actual blizzard going on. None of the family from far away came because the weather was terrible. 3 families got stuck in snow drifts and deep snow trying to get their daughters to the party. Jeremy went and picked up one girl, a nice Mom managed to get the the other girl, and the third girl just stayed home because the parents had to dig themselves out of the drifts and deep snow. Keep in mind that all these girls lived within a mile of our house! The snow was that deep and the wind was blowing such deep drifts. Somehow 10 girls managed to make it. We were so grateful to their parents for making the effort on such a horrible weather day so that Elizabeth could have a nice party. Part of her party plans were to make snowmen and play in the snow but it was too windy and cold.


Elizabeth planned her whole party. When the girls came in, they got unicorn masks.

They then drew pictures of unicorns. Some brought their stuffed unicorns so they drew those. 


Next, they played unicorn BINGO. 


Elizabeth was very excited to be the one in charge of bingo calling the cards. When the girls won, they got hershey kisses. 




Then, Elizabeth opened her presents. She got all kinds of fun toys like squishies and slime. 


11 unicorns!



They had cupcakes. 




Elizabeth was all decked out in unicorn gear. She had her unicorn slippers from Uncle Brian and Aunt Karen. We had recently found those unicorn capris and shirt! 


Today was the last time she would see this friend. They've been friends since kindergarten and this little girl moved to Idaho the next day.
