Strike! Emma's Reggie Redbird party at the ISU Bowling and Billiards Center was a hit! This was our first time hosting a friend birthday party, so we were a little nervous. Reggie Redbird was among the guests. He attempted to show the kids his skill at bowling. When he rolled a gutter ball, which was often, the kids ran up to give him a hug and cheer him on during the next roll. He brought Emma a Reggie bobblehead figurine and several other little souvenirs. During breaks from bowling, the kids colored Reggie pictures, signed Emma's bowling pin, or played our home-made ball toss game. The kids also enjoyed Reggie cupcakes (toothpick toppers hand-crafted by yours truly) and drinks. Emma's friends showered her with fun gifts: arts and crafts projects, Play-Doh, Legos, and Hello Kitty. As a thank you, Emma let each friend pick a new book to take home. I was able to order many of Emma's favorites (If You Give a . . . series, Pete the Cat series, Hello Kitty, etc.) through Scholastic. We also wrote personal thank you notes like the one above to everyone who celebrated with us. Happy 5th birthday, Emma . . . and go Redbirds!
