Well, I am a lil past due in this post but finally had a minute to catch my breath. We had our youngest daughter's birthday last Friday night. Let me tell you I am the reason party planners have a job. Well not me exactly because I am too cheap to pay for a party planner and I have my Mom. Anyways we had our daughter's bday at our house last Friday night. We were just keeping it simple and having a slumber party at our house. I was telling my mom what I had planned and she came to my rescue. In about an hour she turned the basement into a great party room. She added streamers, balloons, curly ribbon, a birthday sign and hung the backdrop for all the pictures that we were going to take. My hubby laughed at me when he came home and she was busy working her magic. I told him I just don't have that party decorating trait that she does. She made it great and our daughter loved it.
For her slumber party she had 10 friends. They dressed up in my old prom dresses and some of our oldest's dresses. We took pictures and they had fun dressing up. They played games and were on facebook :) Who would have thought being on facebook at a party would be so much fun, haha. The girls were great and the drama was low! Huge plus for us parents. Instead of cake we did "cold stone" creations. At our wedding we had received a cold stone ice cream kit and never used it. So, we decided to break it out and mix up some sundaes. We had brownies, cookie dough, chocolate chips, m & m's, sprinkles, hot fudge and caramel. My hubby had fun mixing them and they were yummy! Overall it was a great party and our youngest daughter is now 12! Where does the time go?!
We had a fun week of birthdays, celebrating our daughter's, my father in law's and one of our nephew's. It makes for a busy week but a fun one. I will try and post pics soon.
