Maren's Second Tenth Birthday

From June 27th, 2014... Welcome to Maren's SECOND Tenth Birthday Sleepover Party!

Did I say it was a sleepover?? I would normally make some comment here about how exhausting it was, how crazy it got... but Maren has a bunch of really nice friends who just had fun and helped Maren have a great birthday.

Reunited with Preschool BFF, PAYTON! So good to see her.


Grace, Hope and Jacqueline are happy the pizza has arrived!


Jazmin, Micaela and Grace.


Hope, Jacqueline, Grace, and Sydnee.


You're supposed to give the goody bags to the guests when the party's over... but why wait?


At last, Jeni has arrived!


Deacon has a getaway plans for later... for now, the kazoo and toy golf clubs are helping him to keep his sanity.


The Giant Gummy Bear Cake!! It really was a giant gummy bear. 5 pounds, 9 inches tall.


Maren blows out her candles.


Cutting the "cake" proved to be very challenging. Especially when the girls requested specific parts - feet, ears, belly button!


The girls enjoy their chunk of gummy bear!




Maren opens her presents.


Having the time of her life.


This is what Micaela wrote to Maren in her card...


GODZILLA!


The girls are impressed by that "Nugget in a Biscuit" video.


it's 6 PM! Time for bed!


Negotiations over who got the sofa bed were tense, but eventually everyone was happy.


Jeni got the little couch - and some ice cream!


Over on the air mattress, Grace, Jacqueline and Hope look ready for a good night's sleep. HA.


We can report that by 2 AM, everyone was sound asleep.

Happy 10th Birthday, Maren! (a little Belated)

These are great and super fun pictures! it's what a girls slumber party is all about. That HUGE gummy bear is quite amazing. Did it taste as good as its smaller cousins? Did the girls eat the whole thing? Looks like they all had a great time. :)
