Veronica's first friend party

Once the kiddos reach preschool (4 years old) and start making their own friends, we start holding friend birthday parties for them. This year Veronica got to have her very first and to say she was excited would be an understatement for sure. She invited four of her classmates, Greta, Anna, Julia, and Ella. Her theme was "Toy Story", of course. (Remember, she was Jessie for Halloween.)

The girls were all so cute and seemed to have a good time. They did a sand art craft. We played several games...hot potato with Mrs. Potato Head, pin the badges on Woody and Buzz, dance freeze with Toy Story music, and even had a claw game.

Veronica chose to have cupcakes with Jessie hats on top and cotton candy ice cream. The "hats" were made from cookies, gumdrops, and icing. Sugar overload anyone? I would like to note here that we did the dancing (freeze) after the sugar to help them burn it off before their parents had to take them home. See at least we were trying to be considerate. Ha, ha!

We had a lot of fun and it meant a lot to us that Veronica's friends could come and help us celebrate her big day. They gave her such nice gifts too! Very sweet!
