Gracie asked for a sleepover for her 7th birthday party. We were not thrilled with her choice at first, what with all that little girl "drama" that usually ensues, but we eventually obliged. We allowed her to invite 6 girls of her choice, which brought the total to 7 little ones. I was warned about having an uneven number, but it went surprisingly well! They all got along....no cat fights...SUCCESS!!

The invitation (thanks to Ron!)

I was so proud of my sugar cookies!

My attempt at the birthday cake = FAIL (although everyone said it was delicious and Ron's fondant peace sign was perfect)



Lots of snacks!


Personalized Goody Bags!

I took them all to the local nail salon for mini mani and pedis.

Brittan

Sophie
**Then my camera battery ran out :(

We love that little girl to pieces!

Don't be fooled, she's not 12 yrs old....she just put every candle on the cake!


Ashlyn

Hannah T

Hannah T, Brittan, Ashlyn, Gracie, Hannah J and Sophie (Shian hadn't arrived yet)

Adorable

Silly Girls

Of course, she was posing :)

Where's Hannah T?



Time to open presents!



I showed them how to play "Ghost in the Graveyard", one of my favorite childhood games.


I will spare you the pics of me running around like a fool :)

Decorating ceramic bear banks...that was fun!

Ms. Heidi getting some love from her girl! Thanks for helping me out, Heidi. I couldn't have done it without you!

Ms. Dana with her beautiful Sophie. Thanks Dana for all your help too!


I think this is when she started getting sick. Can you see it in her eyes? She tested positive for strep a few days later.

Princess Shian

Ready for bed? NOT!

They actually watched a movie, then played some more. I turned the lights out at midnight.



"Talk to the Hand" got the sofa......until I made her go upstairs to sleep....she was coughing so much:(

They ate lots and lots of chips!

They had to put make-up on first thing in the morning!


Brittan had to leave for church, so she did not join in on the make-over :)




This was supposed to be a fashion show?

Ashlyn is definitely model material!


Goody bags!

Then they had a dance party before their parents came to pick them up. Shake it Sophie!
