A Wild Birthday for Mara

Mara turned 7 last week and we celebrated with her friends at home yesterday. While planning the party I asked Mara what theme she wanted, and while most 7 year old girls might want a princess, fairy, or Hannah Montana theme, Mara came up with "Wild Safari Animals". I love this girl!

We painted faces and made felt animal ear headbands, went on a safari "hunt", played pin the tail on the lion, and charades. It was a lot of work coordinating it, but honestly, I LOVE leading activities with kids. Also, I had a lot of help from Mara.
