Let's Party! Scooby Doo style!

Making their Scooby Doo ears and collar

Cute little puppies
{Natalie Olsen, Travis Mathews, Carter and Andelyn Jensen, Abbey, Izzy, Makayla, Halle, Adde, Jocelyn Olsen, and Berkley Nisson}
--Logan, Tyler, Ezra, and JT not pictured--

Mummy wrap

Dancing to "monster mash"


Game: Scooby doo where are you?!

They found the "Ghost" with all the presents!
{RJ dressed up...in a MUCH too scary mask--it freaked the kids out a little too much.
This is after they saw it was RJ and had calmed down a little}
Opening presents
{The whole gang was gathered around her just like this, the whole time}

Happy Birthday to you...


Say, "Cake!"

Happy Birthday sweet Abbey girl!

Join Scooby and the gang to help solve the mystery at Abbey's birthday party!

We decided to try and keep Abbey's party SMALL this year. When you have 10 little cousins your age, that can be difficult. After cousins were invited I told Abbey she could have 5 friends come as well {and their siblings, of course :)} It was smaller than last year, but we still have some work to do on perfecting the SMALL party.

The kids came in and made scooby ears and collars
While they did that...the ghost came and stole all the presents and left a clue

They followed 5 clues {each with a game or activity attached} that led them to find the ghost.
RJ had borrowed a mask from Tode {thanks} and ran out at the kids. I have never seen some of them that freaked. We had Izzy in tears!! I hadn't seen the mask before hand or I wouldn't have let him wear it! IT was way scary. BUT after Abbey unmasked him and they saw it was just RJ, most of them thought it was great. {i'm sure some still had nightmares}

IT was a lot of fun. I can always count on Abbey to come up with a fun and different birthday idea...she's not your typical "Princess Party" girl. She was sooo excited to have a Scooby Doo party with a REAL mystery! I LOVE that girl, and her unique personality.

My kids are obsessed with Scooby Doo. They have to watch it everyday. Sounds like the party was a scare! Love the ideas.
