Slumber party
Leah has wanted a sleepover birthday party for several years, but we’d told her she had to wait until she was 10. This year was finally the year! The party began with a little painting.
The girls picked their designs ahead of the party so that Jen could have the canvases prepped and ready for the party night.
While the paint projects dried, Leah opened her presents. She was very excited about a new fuzzy unicorn squishie.
The girls returned to the table to remove the vinyl and reveal their painted designs.
They all did a great job creating one-of-a-kind designs!
Leah decided she wanted her friends to decorate their own cupcakes at the party. So Jen made the cupcakes and frostings, then set them out with all the toppings.
Leah had fun showing her friends how to use a piping bag to frost the cupcakes.
There was some very original decorating on these cupcakes!
After making them, it was time to sing to Leah and eat them.
Then Molly left to sleep over with some of her friends, leaving just the 4th graders. But there was still more to do. Next up - a fun take on the classic game of Spin the Bottle. The girls ended up with rainbow painted finger nails.
The girls then watched a movie (the new Dumbo) and then finally went to bed. They chatted for a while and fought going to sleep, but the last of them was asleep by midnight.
Donuts for breakfast has become a tradition on our house for sleepovers, but not just any donuts - Krispy Kreme donuts!
Happy birthday, Leah!
