Maris’ Magical Birthday

 It was Maris' turn to have her most exciting birthday party- Her 8-Year-Old Harry Potter Birthday Party!!

Luckily I had 4 great helpers to make the magic happen! Here they are set up at Diagon Alley: the kids got a wand, a spell book, magical candy, a tiny stuffed animal, and a robe (made of black plastic tablecloths).

Maris wanted an owl cake- Hedwig turned out really cute!!
Diagon Alley and platform 9 3/4.
The party kids ready to ride the train to Hogwarts! 
The kids in Charms class practicing spells.
Owen was such a good sport; he agreed to be the dueling partner and let them all "Expelliarmus" him. He was a superb actor!! He also ran the remote control for the Accio spell (book taped to a RC car).
Crawling through the spider tunnel, and Expecto patronum (popping a dementor balloon!)

Potions class was a huge success as usual!  Here's Maris and Kennedy working on theirs- squeezing the "bat spleen" (Gushers) haha

Whitney ran the potions class!

While Katelyn ran the transfiguration class!  Turning a piece of paper into a cute origami owl. I have such helpful kids!!

dessert time in the Great Hall!
Singing to Maris!  And HP glasses Maris getting photo bombed....

guests chatting, and opening presents. 

We love our sweet Maris girl!! She is very sensitive, smart, and kind. Such a peacemaker. And growing up fast!
