Teenager in the House!

So, Elisabeth became an official Teenager in September.  13!!
She has so much fun at her sleep over last year.  And the girls were all so well behaved.  So she decided to do that again. With a few new games and crafts!

This ball toss question game was great to break the ice.  We never did get through all those questions. =)

All the girls got soft fluffy slipper socks.  Then we took pictures of  a few at a time with Elisabeth for our next project....

While Jon was getting the pics developed at walmart and picking up pizza.  The kids were painting and decorating frames.  We had tons of glitter and stickers and buttons and jewels.  The girls were all so creative!

The usual party food....Pizza!  You can't go wrong with Pizza.  We other snacks food too, but they hardly ate anything they were so intent on crafting and talking.  Her Theater friends and Home school friends all got along so well.

 There were a few boys at the first part of the part but after games, and crafts and dinner and cake and presents....they boys went home.  Now it was time for NAIL POLISH.  They all had a lot more patience this year than last.  They actually stuck with it and made their nails really cool this time.  Last year they all got distracted. =)

Time for all the girls to get cozy and watch a movie.   They watched Soul Surfer.  What a great show! After the movie a lot of the girls went home.  But a few were able to spend the night.

Here they are all tuckered out.  Well actually Elisabeth was tuckered out and went right to sleep, some of the others had a hard time settling down.  But they just talked quietly, and son they were all out.  It was a good thing they didn't stay up too late...maybe 12:30 or 1:00...because a few of them had a long early morning play practice the next morning!  

For  Elisabeth, play practice was just a fun way to extend the party and be with her friends.  She'd rather be at play practice than just about anywhere else!
