6th birthday party

I can't believe my babies are 6 years old. It seems like just yesterday we were living in Spokane and going to see them every 3 hours in the NICU. They have come a long way from 2 lbs. 11 oz. and 3 lbs. 4 oz. We are so thankful for them and love them VERY much!

We had a fun friend party for them (Scooby Doo theme). It started with a pinata.

The kids were NOT HAPPY to find out that the pinata was filled with dog food and a clue. What would a Scooby party be without a mystery to solve?

The note read, "THERE WILL BE NO FUN TODAY-I HAVE STOLEN THE BIRTHDAY PRESENTS! THE ONLY WAY TO GET THEM BACK IS TO LOOK FOR THE CLUES TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY. YOU MUST COMPLETE THE GAMES IN ORDER TO EARN MORE CLUES.

GOOD LUCK."

THE PHANTOM

P.S. YOUR FIRST CLUE IS THIS…

Scooby is hungry for a bone, just above his chin.

But we will use tape, and not a pin.

We then played a round of pin the bone is Scooby's mouth. Saige won.

The next clue:

That was fun for Scooby’s tummy

Who opens the next clue? The best looking mummy!

Saige won again!

The next clue:

We are not sure where the phantom went

But there may be a clue in this Scooby doo present

Then we played the game where the present is wrapped a bunch of times and when the music stops a layer is unwrapped.

The next clue:

“Don’t Eat Scooby” is what we will yell

The last one to play will have a clue to tell

Then we played "Don't eat pete" but the pictures were of Scooby Doo Characters.

The next clue:

You are good at these games, and it really shows

The presents are hidden, where Mom washes clothes.

The next clue:

Now that you’ve found them, we hope you’ve had fun

The fun is not over, we are not done

You are great crime solvers, really a team

Now it is time for some cake and ice cream!

The girls had an AMAZING cake! It was the best part of the party. I wish I could say that I made it but clearly I did not!! It looked great and even tasted good.
