Amy's Surprise Party

A couple of months before her birthday Amy was telling me she wanted a surprise party for her birthday. I told her you can't "want a aurprise party"- then it won't be a surprise! her took her a month or so to grasp this concept and let the idea go. Then it was time for Katelyn and I to get bust planning her SUrPrisE PArTy!!!

We decided to copy Ethan's Minute to Win It idea. Katelyn made the guest list. I delivered invites and we crossed our fingers that 12 eight years olds could hold a secret 4 days for Amy! If I was able to talk to their mother's I suggested not telling their child until the day of the party!

You won't believe it! All those girls kept the secret and Amy had a genuine SURPRISE PARTY!! It was so fun!



We had Amy and Katelyn go down to play at the Warburton's until all the girls arrived. Then I called Amy and told her she had to come home to help babysit. I had her friends hiding behind the kitchen bar with confetti to throw. When they heard her come in the garage door they jumped up and yelled SURPRISE!!! It was awesome and Amy turned bright red!

 

We headed down to the basement for the games. I can't remember all the names now, but I think they had a good time. Then back upstairs for a brownie cake and presents.


Good thing we had this huge party for Amy because on her actual birthday later that week she was really sick!
I hope this party made up for the "Worst Birthday Ever" that I gave her last year!
