Hello Kitty Partay!

To be perfectly honest, Sophia's birthday snuck up on us this year, so we kept it simple and invited just her cousins and had it at home. But one thing Sophia knew was she wanted a HELLO KITTY theme! We had her birthday party Friday night after school, so we decorated the night before. I don't want to brag, but I loved how these Hello Kitty puffs turned out.




I made her cake. Looks cute and was one of the easiest ones I have made:)


If you don't know, I am not a fan of characters on clothes. I guess Hello Kitty is not as bad, but my mom found this lovely dress. She knew I would never buy it, so she did to torture me and she knew I wouldn't say no because it goes with her birthday theme. Isn't it tacky??!! haha. Sophia loves it and has actually worn in multiple times since.


Sophia wanted corn dogs, polish dogs for the adults, vegetables, and chips for dinner. PERFECT menu for kids!


Can't leave the big boys out at the little table (funny how that worked).


After dinner, the kids did a craft. The girls decorated a bow to be like Hello Kitty and the boys decorated door hangers.


Next was "pin the bow on Hello Kitty." Sophia had to watch her cousins do it first and then she finally warmed up to the game. Miles won and got his bow the closest!




Present time! She got decked out on Hello Kitty stuff and lots more! She was definitely spoiled.Most kids love pinatas right? Well Sophia does not usually like to participate when there is a pinata. She mentioned she wanted one and I said no at first. She reassured me that she would do it because it would be at her house. So we got one. Not thinking it totally threw because it was dark and cold outside and we didn't want it in the house. To the garage we went (don't mind the mess..haven't organized that yet). TJ stood on a ladder and had the kids swing. Sophia actually did it! That was the good part. The bad part is that the pinata ended up in tears by the birthday girl. When it was popped open all the kids clobbered the candy. There was not much space, so Sophia just started crying. We will just say that there probably won't be a pinata at her party again, ha!



Her bad attitude continued as we sung her Happy Birthday (she has never been a huge fan of that though). This is such a classic picture. Plugged ears and a pout face. She wouldn't blow out her candles either...what a party pooper;) That actually reminds me of myself as a kid. I hated that attention.


She got happier when it was time to play "kitty". Look at all those cute kitties listening to the directions of the game.

They had an eating contest, but had to eat like a kitty. They ate goldfish and were very entertaining doing it. Tyler was the fastest eater and Jackson was the most determined to finish!

Kenton played too, but made up his own rules:)

Overall, it was a fun party. The kids enjoyed themselves and were all tired when they left. Thank you to all her cousins and family for coming! It made her party great:)
