The day before the party there was alot of snow that came down. I was alittle worried how the roads would be the next day for the party, but it was fine. Manny drove me, Daichi and Mika to St williams school where we were going to have the party. I told theschool organizer Christopher that we'd be in early at 12pm to set up for the party at 1pm. Thank goodness I did that because he came around 12:40pm. I just had enough time to put up flower balloons, the banner, set up the games, put out drinks,snacks,plates, cups, napkins and put the cake in the fridge. Kids came running in and Mika and Daichi were so excited! This is her FIRST official party with her friends. We always do a family party with cake, presents and games. But, when manny got his permanent residency status in Canada I knew the kids needed a big girl/big boy party!
Kids loved the idea of the party at the school cz there was the gym with equipment there, a huge room for eating and activities and a long hallway to run back and forth to. Emi was left at home with grandma and grandpa cz she caught Mika's cold from school. Mika had a high fever and a bad asthma cough for almost 4 days.
Well, the kids had fun! I sewed four minions and put beans in them for a bean bag "hit the minions" game! And we did dodgeball, tag, pinata (a big number 7 that I made), decorating cookies and a cookie contest, etc. It was great and the kids were all smiles! They ate pizza and drank juice and cookies and cake. We had so many games and prizes that the time really did fly by! Mika loved her many wonderful gifts she was given!! Mostly Barbie dolls and stuffed toys which she loves! The party was a success and I have to go through it all again next month january for Daichi's 9th birthday!!
