Eileen's 7th Birthday Party!
2-4-6-8
Come help us celebrate!

For Eileen's friend party this year she wanted to have a cheerleader party so we invited all of her friends and had the neighbor come and teach the girls a few moves. Eileen had so much fun, and it was really cute to watch all of the girls!Eileen and Olivia (the neighbor)

All 3 kiddos with Olivia, can you tell that they love her?

We had amazing weather that day, not a cloud in sight-but it was hot! One of the activities for the girls to do (after getting their white grosgrain ribbon put in) was to decorate their drink holder. I am going to have to remember this trick, I didn't have to throw away any half filled drinks!The girls worked very well on this project too, helping each other find the right letter or shape.

Once the drink holders were done, and drinks placed in them the girls moved on to the next activity-cheer shorts. I picked up a pair of shorts for each of the girls and a bunch of puffy paints and had them decorate how ever they wanted.Table number 2

All of the shorts drying, they were so creative!

For lunch we had food that you would have at a sporting event, since that is where you find cheerleaders (okay, so it was modified to fit my needs as well). They had hot dogs, bags of chips, Gatorade, individual bags of mini carrots, yogurt, fruit kabobs-without watermelon, and finger jello-in the shape of a megaphone.
After lunch the girls learned a few moves


They did pretty well I thought!


Eileen had a chocolate cake in the shape of a pink and purple megaphone, with 7 candles in the shape of a 7Happy Birthday Dear Eileen

After cake and ice cream on such a fun hot day what could you end with but a water balloon fight!some of the girls really got into it!


Eileen playing with all of her new Barbies (I did say that once she was 7 she could have them...), of course she finished all of her thank you cards before playing with anything-just like Olivia!

And just think it's not even their birthday yet!
