Party Craziness

We survived! Ashley had a great time at her party yesterday. It was a beautiful day and we got to be outside for her entire party. The kids seemed to enjoy playing on the playground and decorating cookies.

She still hasn't mastered the art of reacting well when opening presents. Ashley loved all of her gifts, but she kept making faces and acting weird as she opened her presents. After the party we asked why she was being like that and she said because she was guessing in her head what was in the packages and they didn't match up to what she thought they were unless the wrapping paper was a hint. She was getting mad that she was guessing wrong!


We ordered a Tinker Bell cake with Ashley's picture on it. It turned out really cute. The picture is of Ashley in her fairy Halloween costume.

Ashley had several girls spend the night. It was her first sleepover. The girls spent the evening playing outside and then came in for a movie when it got dark. These young girls that were determined to stay up all night were all asleep around 10. Of course, I was worn out just from watching them. They kept having us take pictures of them jumping out of the swings.

Alan and Rowan loved having the big girls around. When we were giving the girls their pizza, Alan pulled up a chair to sit with them. He said he wanted to sit with "the babies". This morning we couldn't get him out of Ashley's room because he wanted to play with them.

Tomorrow is a teacher in-service day so we are going to go tour the Blue Bell Creamery. I am looking forward to the taste test at the end! I'll post some pictures of that tomorrow!
