Hannah's Splash Park Party!

Hannah asked to have a friends party at the splash park this year.  She has only had one friends party, and it was just a small one when she was five.  I decided this was a good year to give it a go!  The splash park is new, and some of the girls hadn't even been to it yet!  And it's free, perfect!  

Hannah wanted a Little Charmers theme.  Since it's a fairly new show, there aren't as many premade supplies out there for it, but luckily they came out with some recently.  We found this cute recipe for "Charmer Chow":

That worked perfectly for favors.  These are my favorite kids' cups.  We have all of our favorite shows, and they hold up well in the dishwasher:

We made the cupcake toppers too...

which were great on the Sam's cupcakes I bought (cheat!  $15 well spent)

I decided to serve a picnic lunch:

All the siblings came of course:

The weather looked really questionable, so much so that we were forming a back-up plan at the church, but it cleared up right on time and ended up being beautiful!

We had to have it on a Friday due to park availability, so Josh took the day off of work, and my mom and sister Emily came to help too.

I had help with Lucas.  He slept most of the time:

The blue skies came out!

It was Karli's actual birthday on the party day!

15 of the girls were able to make it, as well as her siblings, cousins. and some siblings of friends!

She was really excited about getting presents from all of her friends:

She thought this was the best party ever.  We all had a lot of fun.  Even though I'm tempted to say we just have friends parties every few years, it was so much fun, I almost want to do it again next year ;)
