10 year old Party!!!

On February 25, 2011, Emily had a party to celebrate her 10th birthday! Her actual b'day is on February 27th. For her party she invited 3 friends from school to come over from 2pm to 9pm, Scott thought I had lost my mind!! But I did it as a kind of spend the night party without staying overnight!!! Alana and Devan rode home from school with us and Gabrielle and her sister Julianna (Kerri Ann's BFF from school) came a little later. When we got home from school the girls just played in the playroom and outside. Around 4:30 Scott and Poppa went to get the pizza.

The table setting. I picked it out. It was the stuff they

had for Sweet 16 party, but I got the things that didn't

have "Sweet 16" written on it (tablecloth, cups and

small napkins). She LOVED it!!

The goodie bags! Nail Polish, Lip gloss, and

fingernail file. Very girly!!

After pizza, the girls made necklaces and bracelets.

Gabrielle and Devan

Alana and Emily

Julianna and Kerri Ann, they did their own thing
during the pary!

After making necklaces they played Just Dance 2
on the Wii.

Scott joined in too!!!

More dancing.

Emily didn't want cupcakes or cake, she wanted me
to make her chocolate chip muffins and put whipped
cream on top! :-)

Being sung to.

Make a wish!

Then we painted fingernails, but I was so busy painting

that I didn't get pictures! Then it was time to open
presents!!!

Fairies and Princesses....

For her 7th birthday, Kerri Ann wanted a TinkerBell party, again! This year we invited all of the girls in her class (8 counting Kerri Ann), 2 of her friends from church, and the big sister of one of her friends, who is the same age as Emily. We invited 12 total (counting KA and Emily) and ALL 12 were there! They all got along VERY well and Kerri Ann had a great day! The party was from 2pm - 4pm, parents could drop off their little fairies.


Kerri Ann in her Purple, Birthday Fairy Costume!


For the Craft/Goodie Bag we made Necklaces and Bracelets using the box of 5000 beads that I had bought.

Stringing the beads .


Such concentration!

She was concentrating hard too! I got a picture of each

child and in each picture this is about how they all looked!


Most were finishing up at this time.

Next, I had put together a "coloring book" of fairies for them to color. This also gave me time to set up for cupcakes and ice cream. :-)

Coloring away. I offered to let them stand at the table,
they all said no they wanted to stay on the floor!

Cupcakes. Of course what would a cupcake for
KA be without something purple!

Kerri Ann's cupcake!

The inside of the cupcake!

The table set up. Centerpiece had all 12 cupcakes
on it.

Singing to KA.

Blowing the candle out!

Time to eat! Since we don't have 12 chairs I had
the girls stand. One of the little girls asked if
they could all please sit down. Nope sorry we don't
have a place for all of you!

I think they are enjoying the cupcakes, even
if I did make them stand :o)

Next up, PRESENTS!!!

December and she had really wanted her, since she
is from Virginia!!

All of her gifts! She LOVED everything that she
got! But most of all she LOVED having her FRIENDS
at her house to play with!!

All the 1st grade fairies and princesses! I meant
to get Emily and her friend and somehow they got
away without getting in the picture!

It was a wonderful day for Kerri Ann. On her actual birthday I took chocolate chip cookies to the school for her class to have at lunch time. I also let her pick out what we were going to have for supper that night, she picked pizza!
