5-15-2009 Friday - Puppy Pajama Party!

Shera had her birthday party on Friday at our home and invited a few of her best girlfriends from church and school to come. The theme was a puppy pajama party! All the girls wore their pajamas and brought their favorite stuffed puppy dog with them!

When they came in they each got a "Pups Rock" bracelet and they picked a webkinz puppy to take home later.

They made puppy ears by cutting felt patterns and stapling them onto a headband. Then they picked their favorite ribbon color for the bows! They turned out so cute!

We tried to find a kitty pinata, but we couldn't. So we got a puppy pinata instead. The kids went two times through the line. The third time we let them hit it twice without a blindfold. The pinata was decapitated and lost all its limbs, then finally it got killed by Luke!

Then everybody went to the backyard and roasted "Hot Dogs" in the firepit. They had chips and sodas outside. It was a nice warm afternoon, so they played on the trampoline for a while too!

Next, the girls came in and Shera opened her gifts. She had some fun puppy themed gifts as well! Here is a blanket our friends, Annie and Carly, made for her! Green is her favorite color and she loved the puppy paw prints! Shera immediately wrapped it around her body and held onto that blanket all night long!

We had a puppy cake and cupcakes too! Then they all went down to the theater in the basement and watched "Hotel For Dogs". It was a really cute movie, but it does make you cry. Shera came up with her eyes red and swollen. Shera loved her puppy pajama party! It was a really fun theme for her 9th birthday!

What a fun party! Personally, I'm glad you didn't find the kitty pinata--no need to encourage that kind of behaviour!:)

How fun! I am getting excited to be able to throw cute themed birthday parties for my girls. I like this idea and love the cute puppy dog ears they made! Happy Birthday Shera!
