For Xarrissas birthday this year, we had a slumber party. There were 12 girls between the ages of 8 and 12 there. It was crazyness. We started the party off with the girls making themselves a necklace or bracelet out of beads. There were 5 packages of beads which equaled about 2000 beads at least. Then we pulled out the cupcakes and icing, and sprinkles, and they were able to decorate their cupcakes any way they wanted. Risa opened her presents, and the girls did a dress up fashion show. There were girls watching movies, some in the room painting fingernails, some making more jewelry, some dancing in the living room. It was a mad house. The boys took off and went fishing and camping, and its a good thing too, Chris wouldn't have been able to handle it. We tried getting the cops to come, but our neighbor that calls the cops all the time must have been away from her house that night or MOVED????? Could it be possible? I dont know, but we had the cops called on Benjamins party this year with 15 kids running in and out of the house, a jumping castle in the back yard, and at 2pm on a Saturday. They came and told the lady that she'd just have to deal with it, then announced over their intercom on the squad car "Happy Birthday Benjamin" It was awesome. K. Heres a couple pics.
