To celebrate her 9th birthday, Gianna opted for a friend birthday party! (She was on the party part of a party, trip rotation I currently have the kids on;)
We decided bowling would be a fun activity and since we live just down the street from a local bowling alley, we had a little bit of the party at the bowling alley and a little bit of the party at the house.
She decided on a Shopkins themed party this year
We served some purple party punch, "Poppy Corn," and a Shopkins cake with some strawberry ice cream (per the birthday girl's request).
Some school friends, a neighborhood friend, and her sister completed the guest attendees;)
It worked out quite well to take a short walk to the bowling alley. We got there right when it opened and were the only ones there the whole time. The girls bowled a game and a half, and then we opted to head back before time ran out for the rest of the party!
Cake and presents!
We ended the party with a little hula-hooping fun.
All in all, she had a fun party day:)
Her actual birthday-day fell on a Monday this year, and it was also the start of Totus Tuus at our parish. She was able to bring a birthday treat to share, and they sang "Happy Birthday" to her.
(Singing one of the many songs they learned throughout the week;)
After enjoying the morning and early afternoon, attending the program with Ella, she came home to a bit of a stormy day.
She opened some cards and presents
The evening was made complete by dinner out with some of her favorite people
(She enjoyed playing with a pair at G&G Teska's and even borrowed them for a week, so they thought she might enjoy her own pair;)
