This was her gift - a very "grown up" big girl bike... now we just have to teach her how to work the gears!
This is probably the only party I've thrown for Megan in recent years where the boys wanted to participate. They didn't want purple bandanas, so they got out their scout bandanas and dubbed themselves the "huskies"....
Clue #1 had them unscrambling an address in our neighborhood, then finding that address and getting the next clue...
Clue #2 had them going to our neighborhood sign to find the next clue hidden in the bushes...
Clue #3 had them go back to the house for the "detour"... answer 3 questions in Spanish or Jump Rope 50 times. Here's Megan and her partner finishing up the jump rope challenge. 
Clue #4 took them to the playground to dig for their clue in the sand.
Clue #5 was a geography challenge - match 10 state capitals with the correct state. (This challenge proved to be most difficult for the boy team... 8th grader + 3rd grader = frustration!)
Clue #6 sent them back to the house to fish a clue from the bottom of the swimming pool.
Clue #7 sent them to the finish line in front of the house.
We finished up with pizza, chips, soda, cake and ice cream... everyone was stuffed!!! 
Happy Birthday Megan! You are such a joy to have in our household. You have such a caring and loving spirit... you are always happy and have hugs for anyone that needs it. We love you!

She is such a beautiful girl - Happy birthday Megan!
We did the AR party for Xander one year. It was fun, but got wayyy too competitive. Boys!
Happy Birthday Meg! It was fun being here and helping out with the party. Plus it was fun doing the cake and doing our toenails together. Keep rocking on girlfriend! Love GM
That looked like a killer party. Nice work.
Happy birthday Meg. We miss you guys. We really should try and come visit sometime in the future.
Looks like you had a super fun birthday. Wish we lived closer so that we could share in the fun!!! Enjoy that new bike...it looks like a gem!!!
Happy Birthday, Meg!!! I cannot believe you are in Young Womens now. Kate also says Happy Birthday and can't wait to see you in 6 weeks.
What a great party! I was hoping you'd post about it because I was trying to figure out what an Amazing Race party would be like! You guys are great parents and how fun that the grandparents got to be there, too.

It is amazing how much she looks like you! Just with darker hair.
