We (and by "we" I mean my friend Rhonda...who, without her, I would have never made it to the end of this wild party) started the Puppy Party by dressing everyone up with dog collars with their names, dog ears, and painted faces.
Claire and her BFF Lauren posed in the dog house Daddy built for the party.
I made these bone decorations that covered the door.
Our group of puppy friends practicing their "sit and stays" before the barking contest. Yes, that's ELEVEN girls. We also had 2 others plus Sam and several siblings that stayed. I think the grand total was 18!
We played musical puppies, fetch relay, and find the bones.
Claire got a "Fancy Nancy" doll from us and lots of other great gifts.
Her Dalmation cake that I made.
Papa brought Sam home from football practice and said his hellos to the birthday girl.
The kids all received a puppy to stuff, dress, name, and adopt.
The celebration continued the next day. Lauren had spent the night, and when her mom picked her up we decided to go to the zoo. Claire was enjoying a snack during a zoo break.
Will this weekend never end?? The next day we had church, a football game, and then another birthday party for a friend where Claire enjoyed their pool...maybe the last swim of the summer? Great birthday, great kid, tired Mama!
