My littlest girl is officially nine.

NINE.

We celebrated a week early- before Thanksgiving - in order to be sure her friends could come.


She chose a cowgirl party theme- and they had such a fun time!


Here are some highlights from the day:


 BB gun sharp-shooting

Hog-Tying

(which, for some reason, was the big hit of the evening)

 Flap-Jack Flipping

The main cowgirl food for the evening, aside from cake, of course- was flapjacks, sausage and scrambled eggs.  Syrup served from a cowboy 'boot'.

We even had a few 'wanted' outlaws show up to round out the party:

All in all, it was a great way to remember a girl's 9th birthday.

At the end of the day, she was ready to put her feet up, all tuckered out.
