Happy birthday girls

One week after Lillee Grace's actual birthday, we celebrated with a dual party with sweet Elizabeth! It was a lot of fun. Mommy needs lots of sleep and maybe an IV drip of sedatives! Wait, maybe I needed that before 15 girls were sleeping in my basement and 2 little stinkers that would not go to sleep at the foot of my bed. Oh, did I mention Ben too. Not enough yet? Nana and Papa, thank goodness, down the hall. Does that make 22 including me and Scotty? Are we nuts?

All for you sweet Lillee. I hope your 6th birthday was full of awesome memories. It was for us!
These two are a pair! Lillee's birthday is the 20th and Bivs is the 25th.

First on the agenda Joy's dad came to do a magic show. The girls LOVED it. He drew pics of LG and E. and had his "assistant" cut them up! The girls were amazed when the pictures reappeared!

Then out came Rocky the Raccoon. I was a little afraid Rocky was going to become like Tilly the whale and bite Mr. Cook. He put on quite the show. I'm not sure who had more fun. Lots of tricks up his sleeve.

Next up? A very fancy version of "I'm a Little Teapot" We passed around a ball and when the music stopped you got to go choose which teacup you wanted to drink out of.

Our table decorated. I thought the balloons would be a lot of fun. However, I'm not sure if they were worth it seeing as how I wrestled them into the car from the Piggly Wiggly with Baxter and Ben in tow. Then wrestled them out of car at Talk House. And to top it off, my mother fought with them for a good 1/2 hour to try to unleash them from each stool. Remind me next time I want to do balloons. At least they could have had a popping game afterwards!

The table turned out cute. A lovely tea party could never be complete without Domino's.

There was fingernail painting.....





lots of Taylor Swift/Myley Cirus singing....

some beauty shop hair fixing...

Then it was time for "Kiss the Frog"

Excuse pics. I realize the flash is in their face...

hence, Reason for a Rebel!

They put on their little lipstick samples, were blindfolded, spun around and had to kiss the frog!
I think they really enjoyed getting glopped up with lipstick!

Time to load em up and caravan back home. I took this pic about 11 p.m. Most were asleep. Lion King had just ended. All girls had instructions that this house was all about bread and water. They were only to come up for bathroom. I thought if that started being an issue, I'd throw our little portable potty down there! Ha. Kidding. I've never seen such a sea of sleeping bags.

However, there were TWO LITTLE PEOPLE WHO WOULD NOT GIVE UP AND GO TO SLEEP.................................

They both ended up at the foot of our bed. This was at midnight.

This is 7 a.m.













Poor traumatized baby Ben! Good morning to you!

Donuts, OJ and apple juice. Didn't want to pass out the donuts too soon. We figured if parents were picking up at 10 the sugar rush needed to be timed just right!

Our last little bit of organized fun. Thanks mom. It was an hour of fun!

Coloring contests

Word searches and madlibs..

Goodbye girls. All packed up and ready for pick up. Thanks Papa for helping roll up sleeping bags and pillows. THere were not many leave behinds. All girls were super sweet. Elizabeth and Lillee Grace are truly blessed to have such wonderful, well behaved girls with super hearts for Jesus as friends.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful girls with us.

Happy 6th birthday my dear Lillee.
