We have a lot of fun doing something different every year to celebrate Heather's birthday. Here are pictures from every birthday celebration she has ever had (and it's so neat to see the same friends grow up over the years!)
 

2003: Pre-Teen Party In 2003 Heather turned 12; not yet a teen but no longer a kid. So we had a variety of kid's games with a more mature twist. Eight guests joined us in doing horoscopes, playing a board game, putting together American Idol paper doll puzzles, having a "makeup / dress up" race, digging gummy worms out of whipped cream pies with just their faces and more. I think they had fun.
2002: Harry Potter Six Hogwarts students joined Heather for classes in Potions, Calligraphy (using feather quills), Herbology, Crafts, and more. (They even had floating candles in the "Great Hall") They all graduated with honors!
2001: Survivor Contestants at this tenth birthday party vied for "immunity beads" to add to their necklaces... the one with the most won! Puzzles, games and tests of skill showed everyone who could  "Outwit, Outplay and Outlast" the others!
2000: Sleepover I can tell you that these nine year olds did NOT sleep!  Puzzles, games, dancing and video games  were the entertainment for the night.
1999: Pokemon Eighth birthday: Everyone wanted to be Pikachu!
1998: Spice Girls Seventh birthday as "Baby Spice" (Love the pink pony tails!) We took her friends out glow bowling.	1996: Toy Story & Chuck E. Cheese Two 5th birthday parties: Chuck E. Cheese for the kids, Toy Story at home for the family
1995: Lion King Heather's 4th birthday and her first kids party!	1994: 101 Dalmations Two ice-cream cakes as we celebrated her third birthday a few times for  both sides of the family
1993: Barney Heather's Second birthday: Pizza at Chuck E. Cheese and Barney theme at home	1992: Snoopy Heather's First birthday: Everyone has to eat their first cake with their fingers!
