SlumberLESS party!

For Isabelle's 10th birthday we had a sleepover! It was great fun.

I feel so blessed to say that Isabelle has absolutely wonderful girlfriends. I love watching these budding friendships. Each and every one of these girls is kind, polite, smart, fun, and thoughtful. All but one of her closest friends was able to come to the party.

We started the night with a little hoola-hoop competition (and some dancing).

Jaci and Abby (sisters) are both really good hoola-hoopers

But, Isabelle is the reigning hoola champ! We had to stop her at 5 minutes and see if anyone else could catch her. She once hoola-hooped for 47 minutes straight! Kevin thought he should have gotten first place (insert eye roll here).

I made this jumbo cupcake, which got lots of oohhs and aahhs. Isabelle thought it was great!

Time for presents!

We got a new Wii game called "Just Dance". Basically the player chooses a song and that song has a cartoon person dancing. The goal is to follow the steps of the given dance. You earn points by getting the most steps on-beat. The girls loved this game! It was great to watch. Ella Jane joined in on the dancing too.

Along with dancing the girls were singing and, of course, giggling!

After dancing I sent the girls into the boys room with the door shut so I could get the two little kids to sleep upstairs (Jack was at a friend's house). They giggled, chatted, and painted their nails.

At the end of the evening the girls settled down in the living room to eat popcorn and watch a movie. I actually went to bed at 9:30. Kevin shooed the girls to bed at 11:30. Would you believe that all the girls were asleep by midnight!
