Abby decided to have a "Moana" themed party this year. We really love the movie and the music, plus it was a pretty easy one to pull off with a fun, tropical theme. We held the party on Saturday, February 18th from 4-7 p.m.
We borrowed a lot of the decorations from a neighbor since they had a "luau" themed party a few months ago...
Abby worked on these little cupcakes with Moana's boat on a wafer cookie and a beach umbrella on the graham-cracker crumb "sand."
Abby invited 11 girls to her party and they all came! We started off by making our own "Heart of Te Fiti" necklace out of polymer clay and then played a pretty fun game where we dropped balls ("coconuts") down from the loft area and the girls tried to catch them in a basket on their heads.
It was a gorgeous 70 degree day, a real rare occurrence for Abby's February birthday. The girls enjoyed playing on the trampoline and "capture the flag" before coming inside for some dinner.
We had "Tamatoa" inspired croissant sandwiches...
Some chips and Capri-Suns...
And some Kakamora fruit kabobs which were a huge hit!
The girls were all so calm and well-behaved which makes having a home party so much easier than it is with boys!
After a few more games and watching some YouTube videos of the songs from Moana (the movie won't be released until next month!), we headed upstairs to open presents and eat cupcakes.
Here is Abby making a wish before blowing out her candles...
It was a fun birthday party and the only disappointment for Abby was when it was all over!
