Chloe's 6th birthday party

Chloe had a Hello Kitty Birthday party for her 6th birthday. She calls this her "celebration party" (as opposed to her "real birthday") We had the party on Saturday in our backyard. It was beautiful weather for it! We had temperatures in the mid-70s and it was nice and sunny (it rained the day before and all day on Sunday, so we were thankful to have sunny weather for the party Saturday).

Chloe had a good mix of friends here (L to R... Serena (who is Gracie's age), then Makenna & Samantha (who are 2 of Chloe's friends from Kindergarten), then Lydia & Corrinn (Chloe's friends from playgroup), then Jess, Gracie, and Hope (Jess & Hope are our neighbors who are 10 and 11, but the girls have a great time playing altogether in the backyard whenever they get a chance).

We did several relay-type races, althought they were a bit disorganized and not really a "race"...they weren't very competitive or fast, but I think they had a fun time nonetheless.

We also did a pinata...here's Gracie swinging at it and then the kids getting the candy.

And here's the whole crew! They had a fun time together and it was nice that everyone had someone else that they knew. Chloe was very sweet and introduced all of her friends to each other at the beginning of the party.

Here's the Hello Kitty cake and Chloe blowing out the candles.

There were 3 babies at the party, and they had fun crawling around and finding food to eat. Here's Gracie sharing her cake with Julia...

We had a fun time at the party and were glad to have a good group of Chloe's friends here to help us celebrate her birthday. Chloe is now waiting for her "real" birthday on Thursday when she'll actually turn 6!!
