Two weeks ago, we had a 5th grade graduation party for Lorelai. We went with a Doctor Who theme because she a huge fan. Huge fan. Did I say HUGE?
We invited family members and her closest homeschool friends to celebrate this transition from elementary to middle school years. It was a day she'll never forget!
I'm sharing photos from the day. I've blurred the faces of certain ones, either because I haven't obtained their permission to publish or for their own protection.
Doctor Who Party Food

1. The 11th Doctor's "rubbish' meal - Inspired by all the things he wouldn't eat when he first met Amelia Pond.
2. The Doctor's Last Picnic (season 6 ep. 1) - Everything except the wine.

3. Cassandra Lasagna - This was one of my Pinterest flips and flops.
4. Adipose marshmallows- also one of my flips and flops.

What Doctor Who party would be complete without Fish Fingers and Custard? Only we didn't use fish fingers. I made little cookies from this recipe.
The Party Setup

Balloons, a cake, bow ties (Bow ties are cool!) for all the guests and a party table. All set! Of course there were bananas. "Always bring a banana to a party, Rose. Bananas are good!"

At some point during preparations, I found Lorelai like this. She said, "Mommy! I can't remember anything!" That's right. The Silence. (If you're a fan, you'll get the reference.)

Our first guest. "Are you my mummy?"

My friend Kristen took all the pool shots.

The Gifts


Oh - and here is a photo of Alexis and me. Ya know. Just because.
This party is just one way our family helps a child transition from stage of life to another. Read my chapter "Transitioning from Elementary to Middle School Years" in The Big Book of Homeschooling Ideas.
