Blast Off...5th Birthday!!

After learning about outer space at school Reagan decided that she wanted to have an outer space birthday party this year. So after a great morning at American Girl we got home in time to rest before the kids arrived.
Each friend received a space suit to wear for the party - painter coveralls that I cut to fit the kids and then we used duct tape to make them fit better. They each had their name tag and an American Flag so they felt like real astronauts.
We decorated the basement with stars and planets and used colored lights to make it look more like outer space.
They had the opportunity to make their own solar system - and thanks to my mom, mother-in-law and Christen they were put together before they went home.
We played games using 'astronaut tools' but the highlight was the pinata - in the shape of a space shuttle.
The pizza was a hit as was the cake and ice cream, of course!
It was great to watch Reagan's friends from school, church and neighborhood come together for a great night of celebrating Reagan's birthday. She is such a wonderful girl - and she is blessed to have such great friends!
