Well, the girl from our church and the girl from our neighborhood actually went to school together in kindergarten, so they kind of knew each other. Within a few minutes, they were all acting as if they had known each other their whole lives. We didn't have any major problems. No big fights. Just lots of giggling, squealing and laughing!
The first 3 girls arrived right around 7:00 p.m. Pizza got here aound 7:15. After eating, they played for a while and she opened her presents.
Around 8:00, they decided they wanted to go swimming. So they got ready and we headed to the pool. It had rained earlier in the day but it had stopped and it was warm, so I went ahead and took them.
We got back a little before nine, because we were waiting for the last girl to show up (she had said she wouldn't be there until 9:00). So the girls got changed and we had cupcakes and ice cream.
We were getting ready to start making a craft when the last girl got here. My hubby also got home with our younger daughter and she joined in the party at that time too. She fit right in with the other girls and ended up having just as good of a time as the others.
My daughter decided on keepsake boxes for the girls to paint and decorate. They turned out really cute and the girls loved making them!
Around midnight, all the girls were laying down in my daughters' room in the basement. I said goodnight, and headed up to bed. I woke up around 4:00 a.m. to giggling. I sent guru down to see what they were up to and send them back down to bed. He went down and apparently, they had moved the queen sized air mattress up the stairs to the living room. They had not yet been to sleep!! They were bored and thought it would be more fun to sleep in the living room.
So, when I came downstairs in the morning, one of the girls was on the air mattress, the one from our neighborhood had already left for a tennis lesson (thanks, guru, for getting her up and out the door), my youngest had climbed into our bed at some point during the night (probably because she wanted to sleep!) and my oldest and another girl were on the couch.
Crazy kids! They had a lot of fun though. I am so glad it went well and glad it is over...until next time!

I can't believe how well they all got along. Except for our oldest's dramatics a few times about not being the center of attention at "her own party", it was great.
It couldn't have been planned any better. Great work by you, honey!
Awww..I can't wait to have parties like that for my little girl. SO much fun!!
I can't wait for sissy to be old enough for these, I can live a normal childhood thru here, HA!!!
Their boxes are soooo cute!!! And I love that pic of the two of them sleeping on the couch...just adorable!
Oh, yeah! I forgot to mention that we also did face masks (which was like glue on our faces, but smelled really good) and painted our nails with scented nail polish!!
