A fun party Slim Goodbody would be proud of. Melissa explains: Addie wants to be a "tummy doctor" when she grows up, so we came up with the idea to have a Body Birthday Party!
Her birthday is less than a week after Halloween, so it would be easy to go really spooky and gory, but we tried to stay on the more scientific side of bodies. We drew life-sized self portraits, did a little yoga, ate a healthy lunch, bashed an eyeball pinata full of prizes, and had an x-ray cake (inspired by one in Country Living). The party goers got to take home their self-portraits, along with some bone-shaped cookies and a little book full of facts about skeletons!
Thanks Melissa! Readers, visit her at Max & Ellie.

Very fun! It reminds me of the doctor party we just threw for my daughter's 5th birthday: http://www.sillyeaglebooks.com/2012/01/doctor-birthday-party.html

I once had an anatomically correct birthday cake. But it was X rated!
great idea... my son's b-day is also not far from Halloween. maybe I'll use this idea one year.
