I just can't believe it! My little girl is 8 years old! Where has the time flown? This year we decided to do something Vivian loves for her birthday-camping. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate so much. No rain, but a real cold night- so we turned our camp out into a camp in. I had loads of fun playing with the night owl theme and gathering up sticks, logs, and whatever other natural resources I could for this party. My main inspiration came from the brown bag. The kids did get a little time to jump and play in the playhouse and we did get to still do our scavenger hunt just inside. The best part, we did still get to make a fire and roast marshmallows for smores! We had a craft of making birch chip necklaces and then we sat down to eat grilled hot dogs, beans, and corn on the cob camp out cuisine. We then had fun with the scavenger hunt which proved harder then Nick and I though originally. Then we lined up all the girls to sing happy birthday and enjoy some owl cupcakes. Vivian and I also took the brown bag theme and came up with this idea to stuff some bags for the homeless, just something that's been laid on our hearts. We had all the girls make a bag to take. Then it was pj time and off to some games. Pillow fights took place, marshmallow stuffings, and finally a dance off to "Happy" and sing off to "Let it Go" of course. We ended the night with a movie and some smores. Overall, it was a great success. We had so much fun making a great memory. Love you our little night owl!
