Khiya's Mall Scavenger Hunt Birthday Party...

Whew... I'm glad that's over. :] Let's just say it was a pain to plan but overall it was FABULOUS!!! The party was a hit & all the girls had an amazing time.

So...I planned a Mall Scavenger Hunt for Khiya's Birthday Party. They were separated into 3 groups of 4. First, each group had to go find 20 items on the "Free" Scavenger Hunt list which had items like a packet of Ketchup, an application, a mall gift card envelope, etc. The list also had questions they could answer about Khiya instead of having to find an item.


Once they had their 20, they had to come back to me to get their riddle envelopes... The envelopes had riddles (Thank you Robbin the MASTER Riddle Maker) inside that they had to figure out in order to find the store to go to and the item to get. So at each store, the girls received a party favor... Claire's, they got earrings. Wet Seal they got a shirt. Etc. Etc. :]







Notice Khiya's model pose?!?!?! HA!

The final riddle was for each team to get their pictures taken in the photo booth. :]



Before the girls left, I had them each guess how many pieces of candy were in each container... The right guesser got the candy...


The Winners!!!

I originally told the teams - first team back wins a prize - but I was fibbin'. I got enough prizes for all the girls to pick two each. I figured that way there wasn't a losing team... :]

Time for cupcakes & presents. :]



12 Candles... :)


Addison was soooooooo excited to be at the party!!!!



And a big THANK YOU to Jenn for running around with Khiya's group to take pictures for me. There was NO way I could have managed the party AND pictures. :]

New Year's Eve!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

We had a fabulous EVE... We hung out with the Eckert's @ Pier Park. Did some eating... Some walking... Went to a House Party & was home @ 11:50 pm. :)

The Eckert's

First we had dinner @ Margaritaville. It was yum but kind of expensive... Surely not YUM enough to go back... But we had fun. Especially when the plane get's bombed & drops the long lost salt shaker & disco ball. :) You'll have to see it for yourself.
