The birthday bash

Sienna had her birthday party with her friends last night... she had a list of 13 girls that she wanted to invite, but we had 16 invitations. Last I heard there were about 12 girls that said they were coming...next thing I know there were 17 young ladies in our home! It was craziness! We ordered pizza and had soft drinks and chips for everyone and then we began the game. I found a site online that sells Mystery party kits (like murder mystery games) but that are focused on the teen/pre-teen age. I printed out all the necessary things for each girl and made each one a 'confidential' case file. Everyone was then assigned a character and the game began. I had miraculously planned for 15, so at the last minute I had to quickly make a few more while the girls ate. It turned out pretty cute and I THINK that they had fun. The girls that participated enjoyed themselves...the ones that didn't participate probably got bored, oh well, you can't please them all. The birthday cake that Sienna decorated herself, it was pretty yummy!

The BIG group of girls (Sienna better never complain that she has no friends...geesh!)


A crazy shot



Opening gifts- She got such great stuff from jewelry to Webkins (she got five!)
