Abi's 6th Birthday Party

This past weekend, we celebrated Abi's 6th birthday with her friends. Unforunately, two of the invitees could not make it due to illness, but Abi had a great time with the three friends that were able to make it! :)

It was a "Snow Princess" party... She wanted to have a party to play in the snow and play inside in her Princess Hut. We were a little concerned about the snow part being we were above 40 degrees on Thursday and Friday leaving us with very little snow. Greg had snowblowed a large pile of snow prior to this so that he could make a snow cave for her party. That pile was really the only major snow in our yard.

But Mother Nature came thru for us on Saturday... just came thru VERY well! The temperatures dropped to mid-teens to mid-20's with wicked, North Dakota style wind, but the kids had a great time outside. Once the novelty of the snow shelter wore off, they used the top of it for a sledding hill. The girls only played outside for about 30 minutes, but they seemed to enjoy that. :)

We also worked on a few different crafts that the girls could take home with them. I think everyone had a nice time. I sure hope so, at least!
