Harry Potter Party

Auntie Christine came to the rescue to plan an AMAZING Harry Potter birthday party!  She worked so hard coming up with ideas, shopping for supplies, planning and creating all the games, and making the snacks! We could tell she was having a great time planning and there was one excited ten year old that LOVED everything she came up with!  

Each girl got a "Snitch" necklace she found online.

 Mommy and Daddy decorated the door. . . looked easier then it was!  LOL!  ;-)

Julia got a new outfit for the party!

The HoneyDukes Store!

The kids and I created all the pieces to go on the cake out of fondant.  We have fun creating!

 Moaning Myrtle

 Wands and spells!

Jelly bean taste testing!

 Snacks!

Transforming Class aka Charades

Broomstick bookmark craft

Dementor Piñata Time!

After the "wand choose the wizard" they put their wands to the test by controlling their balloons.

Yup these wizards are a bit crazy. . . but we love them!

Cookie decorating time.  Lighting bolts, Snitches, and Wizard hats

  

Lastly it was pizza, Pumpkin Juice (Orange pop), Butter Beer (Root beer), and time for cake!

Miss E's New Room

For an early birthday present we redid Miss E's room.  The walls are a soft purple, even though they look different photographed.  It turned out cute and she loves it!  We still need to find a few more things for the walls.

Bling Bling

Little A decided she wanted her ears pierced and she wanted them done NOW! So off to the store we went.  She was so brave, didn't even want to hold mommy's hand or anything!

Kindergarten Screening

A is all ready for kindergarten!  She did great at her kindergarten screening and was ready to start kindergarten the very next day!  Too bad she has to wait until August! 

Girls having fun!

One of Miss E's friend's moms sent us this picture. LOVE these girls!  

Valentine's Day Box

Miss E had a lot of fun this year coming up with her own box.  She had it set she was going to make the Book of Monsters from Harry Potter but the day before the party another student came with the same idea, so back to the drawing board she went.  She settled on Harry Potter himself!  It turned out super cute!

New Driver in the Family! ;-)

We got a new car a couple weeks ago and A wanted to try it out!  Think she would be the one to drive off on us!  

Girls Day

Daddy and E had a game to go to Mommy took the girls and one friend to Skyzone and then on a ferris wheel ride.  It was a fun day!

100th Day of School Activity

E's teacher came up with this neat activity where she uses a filter to make their pictures appear old and then has the kids write about being 100 years old.  Love it!

Free Throw Contest

Miss E entered her first ever Free Throw contest and did a great job! 

Travel Ball Here We Come!

Miss E started another year of Travel Basketball.  Little sister can't wait until it's her turn!  ;-)

Squirrel Buddies

Miss E and one of her friends were selected to be Squirrel Buddies at the girl's basketball game.  They had so much fun being apart of the team for a night!

Winter Dance Show

Miss A did a great job at her Just For Kix Winter Dance Show.  Too cute!

Vikings and Timberwolves

Mommy surprised Daddy and E with Bears/Viking tickets as they are both BIG fans!  They had a great time and when the game was over snagged Timberwolves tickets too before coming home.
