Ashtons Eight!

Ashton had been looking forward to this birthday ever since Rylie turned 8!
She wanted to do everything exactly like Rylie! So that of course meant that the birthday
party had to be held at the Lion house in SLC. It is not your typical "party" but they
do make the birthday girl feel very special!



They do some fun things, like the cake for example, has a hidden gumball in it. Whoever gets the slice with the gumball is suppose to have good luck for the year. So the kids are super excited to start eating their piece! And it is delicious Lion house recipe cake! YUMMY!!!


The kids get to go on a tour, play some old fashion games like the ones Brigham Youngs 70 plus kids use to play, pull taffy, hear some funny stories about Brigham Young all the while filling their party bags with fun treats and reminders of the stories they have heard!

They get to have a tea party! With a light lunch that Asthon selected from their party menu!


The birthday girl gets to wear a crown during the party and before she goes she gets a smaller crown to take home. Rylie wore hers to her baptism so of course Ashton wants to do the same.

They also get to pick out a porcelain doll to take home! She got to choose the hair color of the doll so it would match hers!

The weather was so nice, finally a day with no rain, that we got to go out into the garden terrace to open presents!
Here are all the kids ready to fight the traffic and road construction to get back home!

That is so cute! I remember going to birthday parties there when I was a little girl. Looks like they all had a great time. I can't believe that Ashton is 8...she was only 3 when I got into the family. Time flies! She sure is darling! Happy Birthday!!!!

Kami, I remember doing this for Heather Bracken's birthday too! I had not thought about it for years. Madalyn happened to be walking by me when I read about this and she wants to do this for her birthday next year. Hope you don't care that we may copy you. Who knows she may change her mind by December! :) You know how girls are:) Do you know who Ashton's teacher is for next year? I am so bugged they didn't tell because we know. Take care-Lisa
