roller skating party

we celebrated lucy's birthday with a good ol' fashioned roller skating party a couple weekends ago.  since her birthday falls during the holiday break, we find we get better attendance if we wait to have the party once school is back in.  luckily our school has a skate club and for a small fee you can have the gym and skates for as many kids as you want.... easiest party ever!  the kids had a blast skating to lucy's carefully crafted dance party music mix!!

........there was a tattoo station for the kids (and our friend steve who is really a kid at heart)

........there was skating limbo.

.........there was cake (or roller skate cupcakes in her favorite shade of blue).

........and presents of course!  (which we ended up opening at home so the kids could skate the whole time.)

.....all in all it was a super fun way to celebrate lucy's 7th birthday!!!
