Gwen and Fionas 5th Birthday

For Gwen and Fionas 5th birthday, Joy put together a buggy birthday party at her home. She decorated with balloons, turning them into all kinds of bugs and planned a lot of fun activities!

When we got to her house the kids played together for a bit, before the fun activities were to start. First on the list was a bug hunt. Joy scattered tons of bugs and each child was to find bugs for their bug catchers.

After hunting bugs, Joy got out the ladybugs she ordered for the kids to release. In a mesh bag there were 300 ladybugs (which she kept in her fridge!)! The kids got to see the ladybugs, then they were dumped into Joys garden. I hope they are comfortable in their new home.

Joy then ushered everyone inside to play a couple games inside...pass the lizard, in which the kids sat in a circle passing the lizard/salamander and when the music stopped the child holding the lizard won! The kids also played "Help the ladybug out" by licking and sticking Oreos onto the Ladybugs body to make it spotted.


Then it was time to eat cake! Joy did a great job making the cupcakes and anthill cake, very buggy! She also made dirt...chocolate putting, with gummy worms. Tanner was very disgusted with the dirt, he thought it was real dirt and so wanted nothing to do with it!
Happy Birthday Fiona and Gwen!
The kids had a great time at Gwen and Fionas party. Tapanga cried when it was time to leave! Joy did a great job putting everything together, very creative! I will have to get her input for our party next year! Out of our close group of twins, it is hard to believe all of our twins are now 5, they have gotten big so quick!
