Horsing around...

Gracie's Birthday Party
November 2011

Gracie wanted a horse-themed birthday party, so mom got creative. She made stick-horses out of socks, string, ribbon, buttons, and felt. She did an awesome job -- they were a BIG hit!

The kids ate lunch together (horse food, like carrots) and then gave their horses a name, and a name tag, which they decorated with jewels and stickers. They also picked out their bridle and attached it to their horse.

Sarah also made a horse cake with a knife, frosting, licorice, and gummy candies.


Once the kids were finished eating lunch and decorating their horses, they got to ride their horses during a cake walk where they each won a small toy horse to also take home. Then they played pin the tail on the horse.


Andrew loved his horse, too. He was the only boy at the party, but he had a good time.
