Wonderful Watermelon Party

My little girl just turned eight. Eight. As in, no longer required by our state to ride in a car seat, eight. As in, now being marketed to as a “pre-teen,” eight. Eight.

Thank goodness, she’s still happy to be a little girl.

For this year’s birthday party, she asked to have a watermelon theme.  Can do.

So, we had a watermelon cake…

And a watermelon roll relay race…

And a watermelon eating contest…

And seed-spittin’ contests…

It was such a good time. Thanks to all the family and friends who chose to spend their day with us. Thank you, so much!

  2. You are so creative:) I think you have a career in party planning waiting for you when your kids are older. I would hire you to plan my kids parties:)
