Olivia wanted a Halloween themed party. (Easy enough!) I got brave and decided to have the party at our house instead of the church.
Our activities included:
- A spooky scavenger hunt
- Witches ring toss
- Doughnut-on-a-string eating contest
- Watching “The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown”
- Ice Cream and Cupcakes
The kids were all so cute. I remember when Olivia was little and I would invite all the kids in our ward that were in her grade and all the kids that were in her primary class (some of those kids were a grade ahead of Olivia) – we would have 14-15 kids at the parties. Now my ambition has waned and I try to limit the invites to one per year that she is turning. It’s interesting to see who she chooses. Of course a lot of the kids aren’t even in our ward. But some are. I can see the winds of “social grouping” are blowing, and Olivia has friends in many groups. It was very curious to me.
Anyway, her guests this year included:
- Drake Fletcher
- Noah Riplinger
- Tyler Pierce
- Bradon Reimann
- Kennedy Reimann
- Kira Jackson
- Kate McGlincy
- Hannah ???
We missed her friend Sophia.
