Elizabeth is 6 Years Old!!!

Elizabeth is 6 years old and in 1st grade! My baby is growing up!



















Elizabeth wanted a "dog theme" for her party this year. So, I made cupcakes and decorated them like dog heads.

















I found a lot of really cute things to put in the favor bags for her friends -- a dog pencil sharpener, pencils with dogs on them, dog stickers, dog temporary tattoos, and of course, candy!

















Elizabeth had eight friends come to the party. We played "Doggie, Doggie, Where's Your Bone?" All the kids sit behind a chair and one kid is "the dog" and sits on the chair facing away from the rest of the kids. Then, one kid slowly sneaks up and takes the bone from under the chair and all the kids call out "Doggie, doggie, where's your bone? Someone stole it from your home!" The "dog" then turns around and gets three guesses to find out who has the bone.

















We also played "Dog Trainer Says!" This game is based on Simon Says except the leader uses dog commands, such as: sit, growl, lie down, wag your tail, roll over, bark, shake, etc.


















We also played "Pass the Present" where boxes are nested inside each other and each is wrapped in wrapping paper. I had about eight boxes! The smallest box contained a bunch of candy. I played music while the girls passed the present around the circle. When the music stopped, the person with the present opened a layer. Then the music started again and the gift continued to be passed. The person that opened the last layer shared the candy with the group.




















I think everyone had a good time. I know Elizabeth did! :)
