Olympic Birthday

With her 7th birthday falling on the same day as the Opening Ceremonies, of course Bix had to have an Olympics-themed party.

Chocolate-coin medals for everyone

A little gold to take home

Olympic rings decor

All-American paper goods...U-S-A!

Easy decorating with the new Olympic pictograms

I LOVE these!

Flag banner

Simple snacks

Hockey puck ding-dong anyone?

When the kids arrived, the each decorated their own flag (and mom glued a dowel to them for later)

The red, white, and blue Gatorade was a big hit with all the little olympians

After all the games and cake, we had medal presentations and a Parade of Nations (led by the birthday girl)

Then, of course, we had a snowball (marshmallow) fight!

The best part about the whole thing?  Wonderful friends...

 

And this guy...at the middle of it all:)

 

Bix said the party was "AWE-some!"

We had a lovely dinner, but this photo says it all...exhausted.
