Makenna's Dance Birthday Party


Since Makenna's birthday was on a Sunday and the Saturday before her birthday was jam packed with Jazz n Place Team try outs and then the Dance Depot dance recital we had her birthday party on Monday afternoon after everyone was out of school.  When I first asked Makenna what she wanted to do for her birthday she said she wanted play the wii game Just Dance.  I told her that it would be too hard to have everyone take turns playing the game.  And after I told Wes about this he suggested we ask his mom about having a dance party at the dance studio.  So when we asked Makenna what she thought about having a dance party she was beyond excited!  She just couldn't wait for her party!  Now what girl spends 4 days a week in dance classes and then chooses to have her birthday party at the dance studio so she can do more dancing.  She is just crazy!  And crazy about dance that's for sure! 

So we made up some cute invitations with a dancer on the front and told everyone to come dressed and ready to twist and twirl.  Makenna could hardly wait for the party to be here.  So when the day finally arrived she was ready to party!  Here are some pics of the party, the treats and the decorations.

 
I made a balloon garland that I saw on pinterest and then the sign said Dance Party

Water bottles for the girls when they get thirsty

Grandma Southwick ran the stereo for us and played dancing games and even taught them a little dance.  It was great!

Happy Birthday to our little dancer!



The party was such a blast and it was the perfect party for Makenna.  Thanks to everyone that came and helped make Makenna's day special.  And thanks to Grandma Southwick for coming and helping with everything.  That was the easiest birthday party I've ever done! 

Happy Birthday!
