Kinsey's 6th Birthday Party!

The afternoon started with owl sandwiches for lunch:)...everything else was ready...owl gift bags, owl smores, owl cake, owl cupcakes, owls for pin the owl on the tree, owls for decorating hats, and clues written for a treasure hunt with an owl surprise.

Kinsey knew months ago that she wanted an owl party so I started researching and found a lot of cute ideas.

kinsey helped me make the cake the night before:)

kinsey said goodbye to Cailey and Braden who were
having sleepovers with their friends..which was GREAT so we
could focus on celebrating Kinsey. Cailey went with Emilee and Braden
went to Caden's house. They both went out to eat and had a GREAT time.
I was so happy for all three of them who had fun nights!

waiting for guests to arrive! sweet kinsey was counting down the hours and kept saying, "mommy, when will it be just FIVE more minutes??" rebekah came first and they girls headed out to the trampoline to wait for the other girls to come.

When everyone got there they decorated hats that Kinsey picked out with owl stickers. She really wanted owl hats but since they didn't have any we just used alphabet stickers on plain hats and they personalized them with their stickers.

Next up they went on a treasure hunt all over the house and in the backyard following these clues which Braden helped me come up with:

they found the treasure!! owl shirts!

After the treasure hunt they played pin the owl on the nest...very cute! Then it was time for dinner...pizza, raisins, trail mix, and fruit. Next up...cake and smores time!

such joy!

they went back out to jump on the trampoline while we cleaned up before coming back in for presents and more games.

Present time:


Sweet gifts from Caroline, Rebekah, Elena, Stacy, Elizabeth, and Emily

Next up the girls played the pot game (where they got tootsie pops...staying with
the owl theme). Ephram played for the first time too:). Then they all got their nails polished with different designs.

The girls got settled in the family room and then watched the Fox and The Hound (which Kinsey picked because there's an owl in it) as they fell asleep. We weren't sure how late they would stay up but thankfully they all crashed by 10:30. (Some earlier).


In the morning the girls had homemade sprinkle pancakes then played more before getting picked up. Rebekah and Caroline came to church with us:). Kinsey thanked and thanked me for giving her such a fun party:)!
