This past weekend we had a birthday party for Lily. A friend from my ward also has a daughter whose birthday was the day after Lily's so we joined forces and threw a birthday party together. I think it turned out really well.
We had a company called Wild Things bring some animals out that kids to to pet and learn about. Lily chose 2 animals to come, the other b-day girls chose two and then we picked one more. Lily chose a sugar glider and a parrot, Emily chose a frog and a snake and then we also chose a gecko. The kids loved petting the animals and learning about them. They got to wear the snake as a bracelet and take pictures of the gecko on their heads or shoulders. Lily and Emily got to feed the sugar glider mill worms. We watched the parrot dance and the tree frog showed off its awesome sticky feet. It was so cute and fun.
We also bought a bunch of little plastic animals and hid them, we then sent the kids on a safari to find the animals. That was great because it doubled as a game and a party favor.
We of course had cake and ice cream and opened presents. It turned out so fun and cute. It was also nice and simple.
Also Erin has decided that she wants a pet snake. I think she would want to wear it as a bracelet every where we go. But she sure loved all the pets.
Lily loved them all as well. I am really impressed with how much both of my girls loved it and how well they did with the animals.
