Jenna's 5th Birthday Bash!!!!

Jenna got to have her 1st friend birthday party this year, and it was a lot of fun.  When I asked her what type of party she wanted & who she wanted to invite she already knew exactly what she wanted (she'd been planning for a while, knowing that this was the year).  She wanted a hula party, and already had knew which friends she wanted to invite (we told her 5 friends since she was turning five) .

When the big day arrived she could hardly contain her excitement.

When each of the girls arrived, they were given a pink hula skirt & lei.  The 1st activity was drawing themselves on the driveway...Bruce made their outline, then they decorated away.

They decided that Bruce needed to be outlined too....
Mikey was not very sure about this...(he was super concerned about Bruce!).

 Then it was time for a treasure hunt in the sandbox.  Bruce & Andrew had buried items in the sandbox, and over each item put a letter of Jenna's name; then added a bunch of other random letters in other places in the sand.  To find their prize each girl had to find a letter in Jenna's name & start digging.

 A party wouldn't be complete with out a pinata!

Here's the birthday girl w/ her hula girl cake:

After cake & presents they played on the swing set for a bit as parents were coming to pick everyone up.  Jenna had a great party & is already planning her 6th birthday bash!
