We celebrated Conni's birthday with her friends the day after her birthday - on Saturday. We were so excited - everyone we invited was able to come!
Waiting for friends to arrive
Conni chose a Minions theme party when we saw the new Minions movie a few weeks ago. It was a fun theme to plan together and it wasn't too hard to pull off!

We also had a ton of fun doing these Monster Bubbles! Dave ran around with the net wand blowing lots of little bubbles, while each kid got a turn with Patti making one bubble with the small wand.
Loving chasing and popping bubbles!
Then we did a ribbon pull pinata. Everyone waited pretty patiently for their turns to pull

Mara gave Conni some Mamba candies, some candy jewelry, a My Little Pony movie, and a very sweet card
These two have become such good friends!
Conni's party was so much fun! Super big thanks to Aunt Steph for taking all the pictures for me so we could have something to post here and scrapbook! The kids were all so good and we had a blast. It was lots of fun to visit with the kids parents while they all played on the playground. We are so blessed to have so many great kids as Conni's friends.
