Guest Post: Hope's Rainbow Birthday

Hi, everyone!  It's Hope here again.  Today I want to talk about my rainbow birthday party from last year.  It was lots of fun and VERY colorful!  We had a giant bouncy pit, sack races, a rainbow pinata, and awesome rainbow cupcakes.  It was one of my favorite birthdays... plus, I got an AWESOME dollhouse for Blythes.  My mommy and our friend Eric made it for me. 

See?  That's me! 

Here are some pictures of my party:
Everything was rainbow colored!
My favorite parts of the party were the sack races (I won!), breaking the pinata, and opening presents of course!  See that umbrella in the corner?  We bought it to use at the ocean but it was too windy and it blew away twice!  It was perfect for the party, though.
 
 The cupcakes were rainbow and amazingly delicious!
 Here I am opening my dollhouse.  I had NO IDEA what was under that sheet!  After I opened it all the little kids kept climbing inside.  It's a dollhouse not a little kid house!
That's my dollhouse.  We are still working on decorating the inside (a year later).  It is a BIG job!
After the party we went and ate yummy Mexican food and when it's your birthday they put a sombrero on your head, sing happy birthday to you in Spanish, AND let you ride the horse!  It was so much fun!!!

This year my party is going to be a swimming party!  Can you believe I'm going to be nine?!!  We are going to have hot dogs, ice cream cake, and lots of water sliding!  We'll be sure to take lots of pictures so I can show you.  See you next time!  --Hope

    Thanks for sharing your birthday fun!
    I love your dollhouse, it would be cool to see more pictures of it. I got one for Christmas when I was 11, and still haven't finished decorating it either! It's at my mom's house, and it needs an update now, I don't think I'd like the wallpapers anymore.
    Have a wonderful swimming party and a happy birthday!
