pepper's party was the last friday of xmas break. it turned out to be a day about 75, and all our friends had off school, so perfect timing! i posted the party info as my facebook status, so all our friends were invited! we had a great turnout, like 30 people, which was awesome, cuz the girls were expecting that EVERYONE would want to be there! we even had a couple people bring their dogs. i forgot to take a picture of the cake, but i made a big cake bowl and frosted it bright pink, pepper's favorite color and filled it with the recesses peanut butter ball cereal. it looked cute!
planning the party was half the fun for the girls. we made dog bone collars for everyone and i had letter stickers that they put on the tags. then we bought happy 1st birthday plates and napkins and some canned dog food for pepper's cake, with a stick doggy treat, for the candle (halle's idea)....we played with the parachute, played red rover, red rover, hunted for hidden paper dog bones that i hid in the bushes, sang happy birthday, ate cake and chips, opened a couple presents people had bought pepper, someone got her a toy which pepper carried around the house for the next week! then we played sand and the kids made a huge house for themselves and pepper. and of course pepper looked adogable in her little dress that the girls got her for xmas!
it was sooo much fun. Everyone who came had a really fun time!
we are looking for a reason to throw another party, but sadly, valentine's day is going to be too cold to have it outside :(
we'll see what the girls talk me into next, keep a look out on f/b for the next big bash :)
