The Sleepover

We had told Katie she could have a party with friends for her bday this year-- we had it Tues pm, and it was a sleepover, so it went into Wed. Her first sleepover party! Actually, the girls were pretty good-- they got quiet by midnight.:) Cici's Pizza and tortilla chips for supper, decorated flipflops to take home, did silly string outside, ran thru the woods in the dark-- thought they saw a snake-- screamed so the whole neighborhood heard them, dressed up in my old formal dresses and did a few plays, played Wii, watched the old R&H Cinderella movie, slept in the family room.
All school friends, except one doesn't go to Grace anymore-- it was too far of a drive for them, I think. Back row-- Breanna and Cecil; Front-- Savannah, Katie, and Gabbie. Gabbie couldn't go to Grace this past year because of finances, but she's coming back! We are so excited-- such a sweet girl.

It was a purple party-- girls wore purple clothes, we had purple decor and paper products, and the cake was purple, sort of. I think it looked a little purpler than it does on our computer right now, but not much.

Chad took the younger 3 kids out to a park for a picnic for an hour and a half so Katie could have party time with just her friends, but Chad made sure they were back for Cake Time. And, Micah sure was excited about this! He has a very strong sweet tooth. Hey, Katie blew out all her candles in one breath!

I think our month of birthday celebrations is finally over. :) Happy 12th bday, Katie!!
