The Birthday Girl!

Kiana has been waiting for her birthday forever, and it can't be anyone else's birthday. She says, "It's my birthday Santa!" (because she thinks Santa brings all gifts, I think we are successfully changing that image.)
I couldn't decide how to make it special for her and went through many different ideas. We finally settled on a horse party with cowgirls and cowboys. I am no cake decorater, but took a stab at it with my sister Dondi. It took all night, and I think it turned out okay for our first try. I need to take a class or something.

The day of her party, she had a game and her cousins came and grandpa took her out for doughnuts.We had to rush home and get ready. "Ride 'em cowgirl!" Here is my princess all decked out.We played "Pin the tail on the horse." It took us forever to find a horse, but at the last minute we found a horse calendar at All A Dollar. It turned out cute, and the kids had fun and that's all that matters. We got all the kids cowboy hats and bandanas and they got a treat bag to take home with cowboy boot bubbles, plastic horses, and candy.She was so spoiled and got lots of great gifts from all her friends. Thanks to everyone. They made her feel so special.We gave her this new rocking horse that makes noises. She is so into horses and her and Maile fight over a little one that Maile got. We were hoping this would make it even, but is it ever really even?Her dad also put up these decorations and made it look cool. We really enjoyed making her party special for her. 11 kids, mostly 4 and under can be stressful, but it wasn't too bad. We made it short and sweet and all of one hour, but made it fun and memorable! We then celebrated with family a few days later, and once again she was spoiled.And to finish up, here are just some cute pics of the kiddos!!! I just can't believe how BIG they are getting. Looking at these just reminds me of that.I sure do love these girls!
