Savanna's 9 year old friend party

We don't do friend birthday parties very often at our house. In fact this is only the 2nd one Savanna has ever had. She was so excited, she invited 12 of her closest friends (all of them being girls except for her cousin Easton boy). We had all kinds of fun with these kids. We had a pizza lunch, donut eating contest, potato sack races, we made bracelets, did a fishing pond, pinata, ate cake and ice cream and opened presents. I got a bit frazzled by the end of the party trying to keep up with all these extra kids along with my 2 little ones that were being little turkey's. Thank heavens Aunt Leah came to help. The only thing I forgot was to take a picture of the whole group.

Just for memory sake the kids that came to the party were: Megan Hales, Olivia Jenson, Jody Schwicht, Easton Sargent, Emily and Sarah Hamilton, McKinley Anglin, Maddy & Kynzee Williams, Eliza Willey, and Madison Carter. There were a few other girls that were invited that weren't able to make it.

This year instead of a cake she opted for cupcakes, it was kind of fun!
