Yes I said 9th!! So crazy. She seriously needs to stop growing - they all do. So this years party theme was Minute to Win It. If any of you don't know what that is -- it's a game show where contestants have 1 minute to complete these random little tasks - mostly using household items. Pretty fun. We looked up the shows website and read over all their games and chose which ones would be most appropriate for kid ages - although we made the adults play as well. You'll see video of that below.
For the cake - Addie asked AGAIN for a chocolate gooey cake. Which I love - but cant really decorate too much. So this year I found this cute idea found here and did that. Turned out pretty cute.
First video is my favorite -- it's my mom playing a game with an orange in the bottom of pantyhose - pantyhose on head - swinging it back and forth trying to knock over water bottles. There is video of Addie doing it too - but it's just not as funny as seeing my mom do it :)This last video is called Cookie Face. They are supposed to place a cookie on their forehead and inch it down their face into their mouths. Everyone just cheated in this one. But it was funny to watch them try.
*** there is tissue all over the floor from a previous game -- they had to pull all of the tissue out of the tissue box in 1 minute using only one hand. We had 4 players with 4 boxes going at the same time -- so it was a little messy :)
