Katie had another milestone in September: her 5th birthday. Inspired by the drive-in movie we saw on vacation, we planned an outdoor movie party for both kids and adult to celebrate. We mentioned it to Katie gingerly, not sure whether she would be into that idea. She LOVED it and immediately started drawing a mock up of what the movie screen should look like in the backyard. What was also great is that all the people we invited - our family and the families of the kids she goes to daycare with - were really excited about it as well. Aside from having a few issues with the sound and the screen falling over a few times, it seemed like everyone had a great time, especially the birthday girl. Here are some scenes from the party.
Of course, what is a party without treats? I called in reinforcements to make the cupcakes. It turned out to be a fun night with the girls and the cupcakes were a huge hit!
And what is a movie without popcorn? Chad and Sue are on it.
We're hoping to make "Outdoor Movie Night" a regular event...since we now own a 12 foot movie screen. Katie said "thanks for the fantastic party" when it was all done. That was worth it all!
