Here's the birthday girl! She put on her special hat that her teacher gave her. We also opened birthday gifts from Grandpa and Grandma McGrew. We both got a pair of these snazzy purple slippers.
And then we got ready for her PARTY!
First we did pumpkin painting
Bowen and Tysen both surprised me by how interested they were in painting.
Then we had cake or cupcakes
Then we went outside to break the piñata while the pumpkins were drying.
Birthday girl got to go first
Then youngest to oldest. Bowen's never witnessed anyone hit a piñata with a bat, but as soon as we handed him the bat, he took a good hard swing!
One of the bigger kids knocked the piñata to the ground, but it didn't break open.
Pretty soon, a combine harvesting the beans in the field directly behind our backyard got so close that we were engulfed in a dust storm with flying debris. I grabbed the piñata and the kids and parents ran to the front yard. We had to finish the piñata in the driveway.
After all the kids had enough turns with the bat, I had to pick up the piñata and rip it open.
Next we went inside so Alexa could open her presents.
Her favorite gift was a Hello Kitty scooter.
Gavin had to keep going outside to check on his pumpkin. He was very pleased with how spooky it turned out.
Alexa received these butterfly wings in the mail from her friend, Emme.
After the party, we enjoyed some time outside.
Alexa loves the scooter!
