My Birthday Party

On Saturday after lunch, my friends came over for my birthday party. Sarah came first, then Amber, Ashley, and Abby, then Greta, Tanner, and Connor. Everybody gathered in the kitchen to make necklaces with beads. There was a picture of what they were and little beads that go with them.
Then we made bags. We took little squeeze bottles of paints and made decorations on little white bags with a picture of a Strawberry Shortcake person who had a picture of our head.

Then we all gathered in my playroom to play games. We played, Blueberry Muffin, Blueberry Muffin, Strawberry Shortcake. It was sort of like Duck, Duck, Goose, and whoever was Strawberry Shortcake had to chase. I was always first for the games, because I was the birthday girl.

Then we played a game sort of like musical chairs except there were little Strawberry Shortcake people all over. My mom took away one every time. The first one to be out was Sarah. The second one to be out was my sister Anna. Then it was Ashley, then Tanner, then Connor, then it was Greta, and then it was between me and Amber. The music stopped, and I picked it up, and I won!

Then we played Hot Strawberry. Hot Strawberry is just like Hot Potato. First Amber had to sit down, then Abby, then Connor, then Tanner, then me. Then it was against Sarah and Ashley. Sarah had to sit down and Ashley won!

After the games, we went to make Strawberry Shortcake Gingerbread houses. Some of the kids who were waiting patiently got to hand out stuff. We took milk containers and frosting and frosted the milk containers. Then we put the graham crackers where the frosting was. Then we put frosting all over the graham crackers and put skittles, licorice, and lifesavers to make stuff on the house.

Then we lined up to wash our hands for cake. Connor kept skipping, and we washed our hands, but Connor didn’t wash his hands because he kept skipping and coming out of the line. Then we sang to me, “Happy Birthday,” and blew out the candles. Then my mom passed out cake and juice boxes, and then we lined up to rinse our hands.

Then we lined up to go hit the pinata. The pinata was a strawberry pinata we made for Strawberry Shortcake, because my party was a Strawberry Shortcake party.

Then we came upstairs and colored a little and played a little while we waited for the moms to get here.
