We finally had a friend birthday party for Megan. She really wanted a Harry Potter themed party and I think it turned out pretty fun. We did the party the Saturday before Spring Break, so I didn't think that many kids would be able to come because they'd be out of town. Boy was I wrong. Megan invited 10 kids from school and church, and everyone came. I was amazed. I was so happy for her that they all came, and it made her feel super special.
We started with the kids making their wands. I had wood sticks and different wooden bottoms for the kids to choose from. Then they got to paint them and hot glue them. The kids all seemed to like making their own wand and they turned out super cute.
After the wands were made, we played Harry Potter Bingo. It was fun and I had small candy bars for the prizes. After we had played a bunch of games, it was time to eat. Tony and Allie picked up some pizzas and breadsticks from Little Ceazar's.
After all the kids ate what they wanted (which was not as much as I thought they were going to eat), we then had Megan open all her presents. She was totally spoiled by all her friends and love everything that she was given. She gave each friend a hug after she opened their present from them. I thought that was super sweet and I was proud of how appreciative she was.
Then it was cake and ice cream time. I made a Harry Potter birthday cake and the kids loved that. After they ate what they wanted, I had them play some more games before their parents came and got them.
Megan made each of her friends a sorting hat or a snitch out of the melting beads and then I bought some potion bottles and filled them with Jelly Bellies for each of the kids to take with them with their wands.
I think that all the kids had a great time and Megan loved having a big party with all her friends. I am glad that we finally made this happen and made Megan feel extra special.
