Grandma Sharon has a tea party each year for her birthday. This year she did a cowboy theme to change things up a bit. We started the party off right by riding horses.
Granny Sharon read the kids a book about tea parties while their "Loot" bags where being hid outside and then sent the kids to find their bags complete with some gold nuggets, western bandanna, and a sheriff badge. Even little Max got one! all the grandkids have their own tea set that stays at grandmas just for tea parties but this year they got to eat out of pie tins and use cowboy tea cups.
She had the yard decorated so cute and the kids loved dressing up.
She was worried the kids wouldn't eat fried chicken to well but they did. It was so funny to watch them, they all had greasy fingers and kept asking for more.
They got to pout their own root bear which they loved. The root beer went so fast I'm sure it was a combination of them getting to pour it themselves, drinking out of cool cups, and just getting to drink pop in general; but they were so excited!
Taylor worked so hard drawing the cutest wanted posters before the party.
My mom gave Mike the most credit for dressing up but I'm not counting it because he didn't even wear boots.
But he did have the best hiding place for out "Out Laws On the Loose" game.
These kids were running back from their hiding place in the neighbors field. Next time we are going to have to establish some boundaries.
Krey got a new tool box and was busy building any spare second her could find.
Mike gave us a little lesson on gun safety before our "Root'n Toot'n Western Shoot'n" he was so good to help all the kids with the guns and let them all have as many turns as they wanted.
Trig was so proud of himself and talked about shooting a real gun for a week after the party.
Gracie and Josie were playing on the tramp and conveniently placed their snack on the basketball hoop so every couple of bounces they could stop for a chip. Such clowns!
We ended the party with "S'more Fun" that everyone enjoyed.
and sang Happy Birthday to Grandma with her favorite treat, chocolate cake donuts.
We gave her a few more tea pots to add to her collection and my dad gave her the neatest tea pot planter but I didn't get a picture.
It was such a fun night and perfect weather! Happy Birthday to the Best Mother around!
