Soccer is over!
and her age is now her number :)
Brooke said she was famous
cause they named the goldfish crackers
after her just for her on her special day
Hot air balloon from the Wizard of Oz!
Scarecrow game area
awesome sign I got for a penny!
Treats from the lollipop guild!
rainbow goldfish, skittles
Pin the heart on the tin man game!
Game for the witch
sign from emerald city, bell wasn't really broke
Here is Dorothy!!!
somewhere over the rainbow
toto in basket
The cake! I designed it then had Wal-mart
make it and then I added the skittle rainbow
turned out pretty good :)
the wicked witches legs under the door!
Plates and cups, I had to order everything online
there isn't a great demand for the wizard of oz
birthday party supplies, nope just my little 5
yr old is the special one
yellow brick road I made and
put all around the kitchen for our
little activity
the flying monkeys
over the rainbow fruit!
sassy sisters
her "groovy" red slippers as she calls them
it was really breezy (hence, all the bricks)
It was all part of my party plan though!
The storm was coming in, we needed a
tornado for the Wizard of Oz party!!!
trying out the yellow brick road
Brooke sat down and told all the kids the
story of the Wizard of Oz since most of them
haven't ever seen it. She went into so much
detail and was so dramatic I couldn't help
but laugh the whole time. She would yell at
the kids and tell them to sit back down if they
got up to leave hahaha
well what do you know, she opened the
DVD first haha
new clothes, barbie DVDs, a Tiana doll
a little mermaid bath time toy,
Wizard of oz notebook and pen
and a Dorothy figurine,
so random gold shoes!
a Disney digital camera and
a new big girl barbie bike!
she loves to walk in her big sisters shoes
-literally-
Kylee got a BIG hug for her gift that her
family gave.
She loves Grandpa Ross
SO
after presents we started out in oz-land
and the little munchkins (cousins) and Dorothy
(brooke) had to follow the yellow brick road and stop
when they find each one of Dorothys friends and we
have to do a little game to get to bring each
character along with us to the end.
so they all hopped on the yellow brick road and
we went out looking and came upon the scarecrow
we had to stop and help him get a brain.
We played a memory match game, to help him
learn how to use your mind! We matched things from the
movie like toto and his basket and Dorothy and the
ruby slippers or Munchkins and lollipops!
the kids loved it!
if they got a match they got a thing of
smarties, whoever had the most
smarties (matches) got a package of nerds
-so smart they are a nerd-
the one who got none got some air heads!
The next stop we found was the tin man
and he needed a heart
So we played pin the heart on the tin man
we have such good sports with the older nieces
and nephews
McCall did it all on her own and it was SO cute to see
her on her tip toes trying to reach up there and
put the heart on!
our next stop was to the lion for a bit
of courage! I had a hard time trying to
think of a game for courage so I decided
to do a fear factor type game. You had to
have the courage to eat weird things!
everybody drew a number and then they had to eat what
was under the number they drew
Kena went first and had one of the worst!
she had the slugs which were choc. covered
green beans!
I cant really tell what Hunter had
Olivia had night crawler which was sour worms
rolled in honey dipped in crushed oreos
Olivia loved them
Jerren had dirty Q-tip which was a sucker stick
with mini mallows on the ends then rolled
into melted butterscotch chips
Spencer had night crawlers too
Kyle had earth worms which was just gummy worms
in with chocolate pudding
Braden was not sure about this. He got
the snot! It was pistachio pudding
Mat wanted to try them all! He is awesome :)
so I didnt know how to pick a winner on this game so
I came up with see who can keep a lemon in the longest
so wouldn't ya know everyone else loves it but my little Brookie
and they kept them in for forever. I had to have them
do another game cause no one was spitting them out! so I said
whoever eats it first
all of them tried to eat it! It was nuts those kids are crazy!
brooke didn't like it
olivia did
and so did Brinley
here is kylee showing off that she actually ate it!
Hunter was actually first to eat it and he won
a GIANT chocolate coin that I made into
the lions badge of courage (my mom has
a photo I will post after all these pic of mine)
For the last activity we took the wicked witch outside
and everyone got a water gun and we all "melted" her!
yea,yea,yea, ding dong with witch is dead.
go girls!
and olivia hahaha
so now we helped all of Dorothys friends and
killed the wicked witch now its time to try and get
back to Kansas. I was telling them that Dorothy (brooke)
needs to stand in the middle of the room and everyone stand
around her and she will tap her ruby red slippers and
say there's no place like home 3 times.
On the 3rd time I had 4 adults with confetti shooters
all send them off at the same time
here she is preparing to say no place like home
and bang! Here we are back in Kansas!
and now time for Cake!!!
Happy Birthday to You!
go ahead take a bite, it's your Birthday!
Messy faced girl!
silly boy climbing up cupboards already
and so happy that he can do it
love so happy he is!
BIG suckers
the stuff inside the goody bags aka... Dorothy's Toto
basket
Big as McCalls face!
Such a sleepy girl but smiling while sleepy!
I didn't get to see this but I was told she was riding her new
bike around the house and rolled into the front room and said,
BEST BIRTHDAY EVER WOOOOOOO!
That makes all this work worth it!
These are some fun pictures from my mom's camera
HA HA HA this girl is full of drama!
gold "so random" shoes
the kids picking at the memory game!
so I had to take down the melted witch cause
it turned into a water fight. hahaha
YAY a good shot of the confetti!
Birthday girl
Carson is a little monkey, fits right in!
here she is testing out the bike,
BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!!
the cute figurine my mom got her
Kena got the closest heart on the tinman
oh man the coin (of courage) doesn't show up really
good. Well it had the little emblem on it and it was
a huge chocolate coin, pretty cool the stuff you can find
at Walgreens haha
oh my goodness one of my favorites
a perfect capture of the only one who doesn't
like the lemon. The face on her is priceless!
Hope you know how much we love you Brooke!
You are such a special blessing in our lives.
There isn't a day that goes by that you don't
do or say something that makes me laugh.
Your beautiful inside and out and are loved by so many.
I can't believe it was 5 years ago you came in our lives
a tiny little peanut and changed our lives forever (for the best)
LOVE LOVE LOVE you!
