To celebrate G’s upcoming birthday, we threw her a cow-themed party!

Have you herd how one accomplishes such a task? Well, first, you design a cow-inspired party invitation:

Next, because the steaks are high, you order a fancy cow cake:

Then, you take the birthday girl and her friends to Hammer & Stain to get them in the party mooood so they can build their very own stuffed…

…dog?!

What the what? That’s a bunch of bull.

Well, even though that plot twist butchered our plans, at least we tried to milk the cow theme for all it was worth, and we still had an udderly amazing time!

And because we have never steered Genesee wrong, we even made plans to splash the afternoon away at Sparta’s Aquatic Center! Afterall, you only turn 6 once, so it’s important to grab this milestone by the horns!

All in all, I’d say Genesee was amoosed at how hard we tried to put the “happy” in birthday for her. In fact, the party was absolutely legen-dairy… except for that final stop, at home, when we had to tell Genesee “it’s pasture bedtime.”

P.S. Do you know why cows have hooves instead of feet? Because they lactose.
