The Outer Space Party

We had Sarah's first official birthday party this year.  I say official because past years may have been small gatherings or Disneyland, but this year was truly a kid's birthday party.  Sarah decided the theme would be outer space.  SHOCKING and a very welcome change from princess land. 

With much help from my in-laws and much stress from us, the party was great!  Andy created some outer space type games - ring toss and bean bag throw - that were not played with too much.  The kids mostly stayed on the playset or ran around the yard.  We made solar system cupcakes which was hard work but almost more fun than just doing the usual cupcakes.

Sarah loved having all her good buddies over.  Andy and I were just relieved when it was over!
