Reesa's six.


I can hardly believe it. Six years ago I had my first little baby. We had a pony party at our house to celebrate and invited her kindergarten class to celebrate. Last year we did the same with preschool and had about 8 kids come. This year we had quite a few more. I was very anxious about how it would all work, but with the help of my GREAT friends it was awesome.

I planned 5 different booths for the kids to go to. They got a sticker at each activity to fill their card and at the end they could get a prize if they had all their stickers.

The stations included

Christmas Card making

Bean bag toss with Ariel (and a dragon)


Pony ride

Bouncing on the trampoline with 300 small balls


Then cake and presents.


The cupcakes were the best part!!! Seriously I didn't have to do a thing! I told every kid to pick the one they wanted. When they asked for seconds, I said sure and let them help themselves. Usually everyone is crying they want to be first, or you missed someone, blah blah blah. I will do cupcakes every year!!!

  1. Um, party of the year!! Way to go, mama! Holy cow, look at all those kids! And all the fun! A pony at a birthday?? Amazing. I wish I could have come. :) I need to take tips from you on hosting friend parties since I think I'm in for it next year. If only we could have a party outside in December!
