Gigglin Girls!!

We had five 7 and 8 year old girls at our house last night, and we had a wonderful celebration!!  We decided to let Emma celebrate her 8th birthday a little early this year.  She really wanted to have a slumber party.  Our schedule has been so busy and we thought this would be a perfect weekend to do it.

She was so excited , to say the least!  She only wanted to have four friends and let me just tell you, four is the perfect number!  Abbie had a slumber party when she was ten and I promised myself that we would not have 15 of any aged kids over to our house again.  It was CRAZY!!!!!! 

We decorated our house with balloons and streamers and waited for our guest to arrive.

We let the girls eat dinner in the dinning room.  Emma felt so special!

Our guests started to arrive and they all danced to Kids Bop 18.  It was so much fun watching them!

The whole gang!!  Kelsey, Emily, Emma, Caitlin, and Reagan

We planned some crafts while our dinner was cooking.

We had hot dogs and hamburgers and french fries for dinner. Yummy!!

The girls were full after dinner and wanted to wait for cake so Emma opened her gifts.

Emma got this really cool mood changing nail polish that the girls just had to try out.

Then it was cupcake time!!  One of Emma's friends has a severe allergy to milk and nuts so I found this really yummy "Crazy Cake" recipe that she could enjoy and not feel left out.  I let the girls frost and decorate the cupcakes.

"Happy Birthday to You"

When the girls were done I had planned a scavenger hunt in the back yard with flashlights and glow sticks.

They headed out to the back yard to find candy James had hidden . 

When they got done outside it was movie time.  They thought it was funny that every time they did something I took a picture. They wanted a crazy face picture.

They got their pj's on and got out their sleeping bags to settle in for the movie.

Notice that even all their dolls had beds or sleeping bags.  They watched their movie and giggled and laughed.  Then it was lights out time.  We layed in bed and listened to them whisper and giggle.  Emma had so much fun!  She kept thanking us for letting her have friends over.  They were so good and played and got along really well.  Happy early birthday Emma!!!
