Last weekend we celebrated Cassidy's 9th birthday. Dave thought it would be fun to throw her a surprise birthday party so I enlisted Kasey's help in "pumping" Cassidy for information (i.e., her friends, her favorite things). After a week of trying to keep it a secret, I became really good at lying and I had the perfect alibi - Primary.
 |
| She thought this pile of supplies was for...Primary! |
 |
| And she thought these cupcakes were for - you guessed it - Primary! Heehee!! |
Since it's been so warm (high 90's) I thought a water party outside would be PERFECT! And yet when I woke up Saturday morning, I looked out my window and saw this:
 |
| Rain and temperatures in the 60's!! |
At about 12:30 p.m. I started to decorate for the party which meant MORE lies. I told Cassidy that she needed to stay in the basement while Kasey and I wrapped her present. Autumn was given the assignment to keep Cassidy entertained. (Ssshhh...Autumn can't keep a secret so she didn't know about the party either.)
The guests started to arrive and I kept them outside until it was time to surprise Cassidy.

| Can you see their little faces waiting in anticipation for Cassidy? |
 |
| Twister |
 |
| Let the games begin! M&M Straw Game |
 |
| Even a few water games - water relay, water tag, and Drip, Drip, Soak |
 |
| Then it was time to shake, shake, SHAKE your ice cream! |
 |
| Always a lady! |
 |
| The one thing Cassidy really wanted for her birthday was duct tape. She is her father's daughter. |
 |
| In spite of the rain I think she had a wonderful day! I hope she's forgiven me for all the lies I told her.
Happy 9th Birthday Miss Cassidy!!
