Friday was Paityn’s 12th birthday and the princess had 2 parties!!!
1. Friend Party: Friday October 8th was her friend “slumber party”. She had 10 close friends come over. At first I wasn’t stressed at all, but the closer it got the more stressed out I got!!! The main reason I was stressed was mainly because I realized that Paul wasn’t going to be there to help me (not that he would be that much help – he is more of a kid than they are), but at least he would have been there. So there were 11 girls counting Paityn and MADDUX!!!
The girls were really good though. All the girls got to the house about 4:00 PM (Friday) and immediately started playing. They went outside for a long time playing volleyball, soccer, and just running around, coming in only for drinks and snacks. Paityn then opened her presents. I thought we would get it out of the way and not make everyone wait. One of her friends got her a “flag football” set, so they immediately went down to the school and set up a game. They played for about 1 hour (until it started getting dark). I was really surprised on how fast the girls ran and how some of them threw spirals…. We all came back to the house and ate pizza, drank soda, and ate candy!!!! I did have an activity for them to do as well. They decorated their own nightshirts. They were able to use fabric markers and write or draw something on each other’s shirts. That way they could remember who was at the party!!! They then played multiple games and had a “blast”. Paul finally got home about 12:30 AM and got the girls all wound up again. He ate and then went upstairs to go to sleep with Maddux. The girls finally went to sleep about 4:00 AM and only slep until about 8:00 AM when I came downstairs and started making breakfast. They were supposedly all STARVING!!!! The last girls left about 12:30 PM which gave me just enough time to clean up the house before Danny, Judy, and Grandma came to visit for the weekend. Overall it was a great party and she had fun!!!! (to me, that is all that matters)
2. Family Party: Monday October 11th was the “family BBQ party”.
The family dinner was so much more relaxing. She wanted the type of food that we used to make for her BIG Birthday Parties in CA. Most of you will remeber those....Tri Tip, cheesy poataoes, Avo's Portuguese beans, garlic bread, and salad. Then she requested that I make her birthday cake. She asked for a german chocolate cake.
Both parties were a success and everything worked out great!!!
