Rachael's 8th Birthday!

I'm a little behind on blogging - but better late than never!
Rachael had her 8th birthday party a few weeks ago - a Pokemon Party. It was on the last Saturday of Spring Break and unfortunately 4 of her friends from school couldn't come. But everyone had fun, anyway.Auntie Kendra made another amazing cake! At the bottom of the picture you can see a little paper drawing of this Pokemon guy (don't ask me what any of their names are!) that Rachael drew for Auntie Kendra to make her cake like. And she threw in a Bob and Larry "balloon" cake for me! Gotta love VeggieTales!

Darcy was in charge of the games this year. With a brand new baby, I just wasn't up for it! The first thing he had them do was split into groups and take a deck of cards and try and build the tallest tower with it. This was the winning team - Elyssa and Alex! We made this poster of this Pokemon guy that has a flame for a tail, and played pin the flame on the pokemon.
And they played drop the pokemon figures in a vase. And roll the pokemon balls in the opening (kind of a cross between bowling and mini golf). And of course there was presents. Rachael seems very excited about all these craft things from Auntie Kendra!
And of course a lamb for Rachael - her name means little lamb and every year since the day she was born Auntie Kendra gets her a lamb. Fun times!
