Seeing as it's a month after the fact, I better be sharing some b-day pics from E's party. She decided on a French theme since she l.o.v.e.d. the cheese and cracker taste testing when we visited France before. So... we had the cheese/fruit thing again.
Then we played a few Minute-to-Win-It type games. They had to transfer m&m's from one bowl to another by sucking through a straw (pictured), a couple of them involved to trampoline and not falling down, and blowing a cup across the floor with a balloon. We also did one where they had to talk non-stop for a minute - most of them did really well at that (go figure).
B-day girl blew out her candles and opened presents.
We decorated in blue, white and red with French flags and red and blue plates. We remembered a little late that we were going to have some French Cafe music on. Oops! But it would have been a nice touch. After our hors d'oeuvres and champagne punch, the girls constructed Eiffel Towers from toothpicks and marshmallows. It was quite interesting to see all their configurations. ;)
Exact replica.
Inspired head gear.

I also had them be artists with a twist. They had to draw a scene that I described while they closed their eyes. It was a hoot!
Before the parents picked them up, had a French Salon. We did some French manicures and pedicures and French braided their hair. It was lots of fun!
