Hard to believe my baby turned 8 this year. She's growing up way to fast for me. Sob, sob, sob.
This year my thinking was since I am trying to save money for China, we would do a birthday/sleeover on her birthday which happened to be on a Friday this year. The plan was for the kids to come over to the house with their parents for dinner (pizza) and stay till the next morning. It also gave the parents a chance to visit with each other as we rarely get a chance to see each other anymore.
Long story short it was one wild, funfilled night. One parent asked what my plans were. There was no plans. I was just winging it. Actually there were a couple of more kids at the party that are not in the picture. The kids all just had so much fun together and the parents had fun visiting with each other.
The kids played Wii (Nathan's favorite), listened to music, Mimi's room was named "The Dance "Party Room".
The kids had so much fun that they did not want to go home the next day. Rhonda came by the next day with Emma to pick up Elsie and said they had errands to do but I was able to convince Rhonda to let the girls stay while she did the errands herself. Lisa, Art and Emily came back to watch the football game while the kids all played together. Then when Rhonda was all done, she came back to the house and we all had a really delicious dinner that Lisa had prepared for us. Lasagna........Mmmmmm good! That always goes good together with the Ceasar salad that I made and the garlic bread and of course the vino.
The next day (Sunday) was the day to just hang out in our pj's all day. By Monday, Mimi who is normally a happy, happy girl was a bit down in the dumps. I asked her why. She said she was feeeling down because it was all over till the end of the year. Meanning that Christmas was over and so was her birthday. Oh well, such is life.
