Birthday Party!

 Teresa continued celebrating her 4 years through the weekend.  Grandma Rebecca and Grandpa Ken came for the weekend to join the fun.  Teresa and Timothy got a few presents to open the night before the party.
All Decked out in her new sea horse shirt Teresa posed for a few pictures before her friend party started. It was a long wait until 10:30 for an excited little girl!

 Three little girls came to Teresa's first real friend party.  They were all girls from her preschool class.  Our theme was an ocean/ sea creature party of course.  We started out with the donut game and the kids pretended to be fish biting their bait.  Teresa and Juniper loved the game...Sophie and Hadley weren't so sure about it.
 The next game was Whale, Whale, Fish which was a big hit.  There is something so fun about running around the circle and choosing who to chase you.
 And of course we had to do some parachute games.  It was hot outside, but we had fun bouncing balls, and sea creatures.  And running under the parachute to find sea creatures was a hit too.  We could have played longer, but we needed to cool off inside.
 Inside, we played musical whale.  The kids crawled through the big whale while the music played.  When the music stopped the whale 'chomped the child inside.  The girls thought this was really funny.  They loved to be the one inside.
 Finally we moved to a few presents and a bit of playtime.  We had a bunch of ocean toys and puzzles out to play with and the Octopod.
 We served a simple lunch and then cake time.  Teresa wanted a cake with dolphins, beach, and the sun.  She did good blowing out her candles.  The first one was stubborn, but she got the last three in one big breath!
 And at the very end of the party the kids got a little playtime at Teresa's new water table made by Grandpa Ken.  Sophie loved it and went home a bit wet!!
