Since months, our little girl talked about her upcoming 9th birthday and was so excited when finally August 10th rolled around. Unfortunately, due to Covid (I feel like saying this phrase in every blog post since March) we were not able to go to the movie theater like she wanted to. But that didn't mean, we couldn't have a fun party at home.
Ready for the birthday girl with a table of full of cards, gifts and surprises:
Trying out the new Lego sets right after virtual classes ended. This was definitely a pro to home schooling...the birthday girl could enjoy her birthday at home all day long.
She wanted a coconut cake for her birthday so we baked one and it was delicious.
After lunch it was planned to go to the Y pool and hang out there for a while, swim and have a snack but the weather did not allow for that. A thunderstorm near by had the Y pool closed down but luckily, the splashpad in our area was not affected by the storm so the children were able to cool off a bit there.
Back home, the birthday girl and Elliot played with her Legos while I set up the evening surprise: a tipi and movie night in the living room. It was simple to set up and we had everything at home for building a tipi and most importantly, my girl loved it.
Finishing the day of with a sleepover in the tipi.
The next morning, even the cat wanted to be in the tipi.
Our girl had a great 9th birthday celebration and was loved and spoiled. Thank you all for thinking of her and making this day special.
