After years of planning Laura’s birthday parties, this year I put the party planning in her court. She did a great job and it was cute how she took pieces from her previous parties to weave together her own plan. Laura invented an Owl and the Hunter tag game which required the party goers to be chased by Eric (a party staple at our house), a talon drop which was inspired from her Rapunzel birthday party, canvas shoe decorating, and a scavenger hunt. She requested Eric have two costumes changes this year as a hunter with a mustache and a mouse. As always, Eric obliged.
I think it’s the 4-H in me that craves a good home spun party and now Laura seems to crave it too. Next year we might need to break out the dice game!
