May held lots of McDonald birthdays. Rebekah kicked it off, followed by Alyssa, then Suze, and Mom McDonald wrapped up the month. We had a blast celebrating each one, all month. As always, Mom McDonald did an incredible job planning the party, even though it was her own. We all LOVED the games...and delicious food.
Courtesy of Annabel & Alyssa, there is a new guest at the McDonald household... A Hamster. Aspen absolutely LOVES the crazy thing, but can't stand feeling its' itty nails touching her. So, Aunt Bekah got creative and figured out if Aspen sat in a basket, the little varmint critter could sit with her too.
This is our precious Eliana! Melts your heart, and brings an instant smile
We played outside games at this party. Alyssa loves frogs & bugs, thus they were the them. There was the frog hop game, then a scavenger hunt for all kinds of nature items; we could earn bonus points, one of which was a spider...I scooped one right up into my bag - careful to always know where in the bag it was...Joshua killed his, then put it into the bag. I think I should have gotten extra points for a live one. I didn't even think to kill it... ANYWAY. Aspen LOVED that she got a turn in this game.
Each team had 2 babies that needed to be juggled so the adults could have their turn 'hopping'...it definitely added to the challenge.
After the game was over, Aspen took a sack to PawPaw to help her her do it again...
He sorta twisted the rules on her...
This was Alyssa's cake...she even decorated the L's herself. Don't they look great! Annabel did the eyes. SO proud of them. Mom McDonald came up with the design; pretty cute.
This was the other dessert we had. Mom McDonald's Baked Alaska. Absolutely delicious!!
Happy Birthday!
Just 2 more McDonald birthday parties for this year..then we'll start all over!
