Turning 10 seems like a big birthday worth celebrating in a big way so we had a BIG sleepover for Madeleine's 10th birthday. We ended up having it a couple of weeks before her actual birthday -- we had some travel plans both before and after her birthday so we had it the last weekend in june. It was a perfect weekend for a slumber party! She had 8 friends come and spend the night and it was a fun (and wild!) time!
I wish I'd taken a better picture of the table before we loaded it up with pizza, but keeping up with 9 girls was....ummm....busy.
We had the girls get there before dinner on friday night and first thing we tooke them to the pool to swim. We same for a couple of hours and then headed back to the house to change into jammies and pig out on pizza. Yum!
It made my heart so full seeing Madeleine surrounded by all her good friends at our table.
After dinner we did a little craft. We made flower pens with cute pink flowers and colorful duck tape. It was a great craft for this age and they we able to do it by themselves and they turned out cute!
Then we had cake...
And presents....
Then they did mani/pedis and jammed out to some music.
And the little one was not about to be left out of the fun. She hung right in there with the girls until her (later) bedtime. :) We ended up making them turn out the lights and watch a movie in the playroom at 11:30 -- Harrison and Charlotte were still trying to get to sleep. So we popped in a movie, loaded them up with snacks and turned out the lights. After a few reminders to quiet down a little so H & C could sleep, they all got really still. By 12:30 everyone was asleep and they all slept til after 7 the next morning. Not too bad for a sleepover. :) We had a big breakfast for everyone that morning.
Then we headed back to the pool to swim until parents came to pick up. I think we were
all ready for bed that night! But Madeleine had the BEST time and that what I really wanted. She loved having all her friends here to celebrate and have fun with her.
