This year the girls had a joint birthday party! Charley's birthday is on Dec. 15th and Makenna's is on January 4th - and with all we had going on this year with the recital, traveling to Bellingham for Christmas, and just being crazy busy . . . we thought this would work super! Ever since August when we were together in Bellingham for the Hatch Family Reunion and threw a "puppy party" for cousin Emmerson's birthday, Charley hasn't stopped talking about it. Makenna was a good sport and went along with the idea for their joint party. Charley wanted to add a little twist to the idea and make it a pajama puppy party - I loved it! This fun event included everyone coming dressed in their pajamas, we made "real" puppy ears for all, we had puppy face painting,they got to decorate their own puppy collar, puppy paw nail painting for the girls and the boys came up with their own idea: they colored their palms with markers to look like dog paws! We had a puppy relay race - the two teams had to get all their dog bones from one dog bowl to the other - even Grandma joined in! The best thing about the whole party was how much all the kids got into character. For much of the night they were down on all fours, chasing each other, barking, and hiding under the kitchen table which was the dog house! We ended the evening of course with gifts, puppy cake, and everyone got to take home a "doggie bag" - full of trinkets and treats! We love you Makenna and Charley and hope you have many fun memories of your puppy party and turning 4 and 9 - can't believe you're getting so old! What would that make you in dog years?!
