candyland birthday...

alayna was so excited to turn 5 and also for her party. she had a blast! it was alot of work, but we managed to get everything together for the "CANDYLAND" party. we had big colored squares that lead from the front yard to the back, which the kids then entered under a sign that read CANDYLAND. they played throw the plum into the plum tree, musical squares...where they had to stop when the music stopped and if they landed on the licorice they were out - they loved that game! we then gathered all the kids together for a photo opp and then crowned alayna as princess of candyland and gave her a ribbon that read "today is my birthday". we had lunch and then on to the big candyland birthday cake, which i made myself..thank you, thank you, lol! she opened her presents...which i believe the octopus sprinkler was one of her favorites because she carried it everywhere with her that evening. we went thru wendy's drive up and she even held it up to the lady at the window as we drove off...to funny! we also had everyone sign her little book which i made up with her pictures. the kids took home treat bags filled with candy, candyland coloring sheet, candyland tattoo, candyland sticker and ice cream cone bubbles. it was a hit...and we were wore out!! but it was worth it!
