Birthday Party #2

Well we survived 10 little girls and one little boy for Paige's birthday party with her friends. Paige wanted them to all come dressed up in their Halloween costumes. We had several princesses, Mulan, a pirate, Tinkerbell, and the Statue of Liberty. Everyone seemed to have a good time. The craft was arranging silk leaves, pumpkins, and acorns in a basket. It made a cute fall table centerpiece. Next we set up a couple of games around the room for the kids to play, then we cleared that out and played musical chairs. After some cupcakes and Dibs the kids played freely about the house. We decided to follow the latest trend and wait to open presents until after the party. She has opened everything and played with each toy/craft already. Her real birthday (Tuesday) will seem like a let down. She still has a few presents to open then and we are going to go see High School Musical 3 with a friend. I think we've had enough goodies though so we'll probably just have a few left over dibs instead of another cake.

Below are the pictures from the festivities.
