Today was the party ... we had a Nancy Drew Mystery party ... LeAnna was SO excited about today ...However ... she had to go to Judy's house for the afternoon, so I could finish things up and pick up the "missing birthday present"!
That ... is our new friend "Daisy" ... We all love her ... Princess is NOT sure about her at all and is VERY jealous!!!! She has shown herself several times ... we're hoping they become good friends soon!
and ... the party begins ...
The Nancy Drew Mystery Party ... started out with taking funny pictures of each guest with their "disguise" on that were printed onto their ID badges that they wore during the party ...
then ... each child put their fingerprints of each finger on a slide to take home ...
we also learned the art of "observation" ... an important strategy of a good detective ...
birthday cake ...
Presents ...
and finally ... time to solve the case of the missing birthday present ... there were 10 clues in rhyme that led them all over the house and outside ... the final clue led them to "Daisy" ...
LeAnna was very overwhelmed and reacted in a way that we did NOT expect! She got so emotional and started crying, uncontrollably ... bless her heart ... I finally asked her, "are you sad?" ... she said ... "no, I'm just so hap---pppyyyy" ... we couldn't believe it!
then she began hugging her friends ... still can't believe her reactions ... I thought this picture was cute with Kaitlyn consoling her ... it got pretty quiet in the room (compared to how LOUD it had been with 14 kids running around the house, talking in their playground voices all at once!) and everyone was watching LeAnna "react" ... 
and she can't believe she has her very OWN doggie!
"Daisy Nancy Batson" (gotta love the names kids come up with)
goodie bags to take home full of fun mystery/detective items ...
everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves ... it was a great party! The party would not have been successful if it had not been for my friends who stayed and helped me out! THANKS GUYS!!!!
And we can't believe LeAnna is 7 tomorrow!!!! Wow!
happy day ... tammy

What a cool party idea! That's so funny - Lincoln just got an invitation to a "spy" party for a church friend who is turning 4 or 5. That should be interesting. They plan to do some scavenger hunt and some other neat things. It sounds like LeAnna had a great party and she loves her present. Good luck with the pups.

the pics of her getting the puppy are GREAT!!! I love her reactions!!!
