March 24, 2009 Happy 11th Birthday Emily

Oh, the frosting, Oh, the cake, Oh, the balloons, Oh the Parties!

It was a big year for us with Alex hitting his sweet 16 and Hannah becoming a teenager, and Emily hitting double double digits!



Chubby Bunny! I found some bunny shaped marshmallows for this game. Those girls can really pack in the food! They also made happy face pizzas using all of the Pillsbury Grands I bought on sale at Albertson's!

Last minute, Emily decided she wanted a slumber party! So much for keeping things simple! I made flannel totes with notes inside for the invitations to join us for a late-over/sleepover, and Emily handed them out at school (probably not the best idea).
I threw together some quick games and a quick cake and we were off! The decorations just happened to already be up (wonder why).
It happened to be a fairly warm night (okay, slightly above freezing), so the girls went out in the neighborhood to play night games. After a little cake and ice cream and some presents, most of the girls headed home. It was nice that two girls got to sleep over (a much nicer number than eight!). And it was especially nice because the next day was the road show (see next post) and family was in town for another party!
On Emily's actual birthday, she was pampered with breakfast and presents in (my) bed.
