Turn Out The Lights, The Party's Over

The party marathon started on Friday night. I, along with two wonderful friends took 10 (6-9 year old) girls to the drive in to see High School Musical 3. We arrived around 5:30. Once we got inside the gate, the girls were able to run around and play. We had pizza for dinner just before the movie started.Here is Brenna with her BFF Lizzie. They have been friends for a few years now. Lizzie and Brenna are in the same Sunday School class and they love being around each other.

We added Cassandra and Julia to this picture. Julia lives next door and Cassandra's Great Grandparents live on the other side of us. They get to play with our kids more than most of the kids we know.

Avery and Alyssa enjoyed rockin' out on Avery's new iPod.

Here is the whole gang. We had an amazing night at the drive in. It was a little cold, but the girls just cuddled up together to stay warm. They were able to enjoy popcorn and M&M's while they watched the HSM gang say farewell.

We loaded up the girls after the movie, came home and got ready for bed and every single one of them were asleep in about 5 minutes. They were exhausted!

Saturday morning, Tony treated the girls to doughnuts and a little Wii time.

Then it was party time.

I made the girls these shirts to go along with their pink poodle theme. They were very excited about their shirts and they actually got several comments on them.

Here is the gang again, plus some stinky boys!!

I think this is my first appearance on my own blog! I was glad to get in a picture with my beautiful girls.
If the girls look a little embarrassed, they are. One of Avery's gifts was a pillow that says "I love Troy" (the lead male character in HSM). Avery was very embarrassed and flipped the pillow over rather quickly! It was very cute.

Poor, poor poodle. Brenna knocked it's bottom off in one swing of the bat. Most of the fun came when we allowed everyone a turn and taking a whack at the poodle's head. Poor, poor poodle.

Over all, we had a very enjoyable day and I look forward to celebrating many more birthdays in the years to come! I love you Avery and Brenna!
