Sarah turns Eight !!!

My first born girl has her eighth birthday party. It was a celebration that lasted all weekend long. We had an amazing time. I took Sarah brownie tuxedos(pampered chef recipe) to her school for a special birthday snack per her request. That evening Sarah had seven of her girlfriends join her at the Party Palace for a tea party. The girls had a blast. They got to put on dresses ,makeup, jewerly, shoes. They performed a short skit. Had a modeling run for the mothers who stayed to watch. Then they ended with a tea. Sarah got to pick out a porcelain doll when she left. After we left the Party Palace Kym (Sarah's aunt) and I drove the girls back to our home for a Sleepover!!!!!Micha (friend/babysitter)Kym and I kept the girls busy with activities of which Sarah had requested we play. We first ate pizza,sang karaoke,played charades,played some other game that Kym created, and watched a movie. Most of the girls,as did I , hit the pillow at 2am. There were a few that were still trying to keep awake until about 4:30am. I know this because my night owl sister -in- law stayed up with them. Thank you Kym .:)At about 6:30am our puppy Max ran upstairs and licked most of the girls until they woke up!!!! I eventually went to the bakery to bring the girls back goodies for breakfast. William had spent the night w/ Aunt Kathy so we were able to eat junk/sweets during her party.
Now, these pictures are just of her first evening of celebration with her friends. I will try to later post some of the next day ,when we celebrated w/ family. Sarah requested dinner at a restaurant and Put-Put for that evening.
My heart goes out to Joe because he shares the same birthday with Sarah. Unfortunately, he gets second dibs on when we celebrate his. Happy Birthday to Joe. Your a great sport!!!
