Phoebe's Birthday Party

Last Friday, Phoebe turned 8 years old! I can't believe she's so big. We measured her when she got up that morning and she's 4'2"! That means she's less that a foot shorter than me.

Conveniently, Night at the Museum 2 was released on her birthday. So, for her birthday she decided she wanted to see the movie and have a sleepover. Her first sleepover. Being the practical and silence loving mom that I am, I told her she could invite 3 girls. In the end, only one girl actually spent the night. The unforeseen bonus of only inviting 3 is that the party favors (I refuse to call them loot bags) can be a lot more fun.


Boas, crowns, beaded feet decorations and TWO things to color all in a cute pink metal bucket. Apparently having 2 crafts pushed the party over into the "best party ever" category.



Here are the girls all ready to go to the movie. They decided not to wear the boas. Phoebe is the only one who made it into the theater with her crown still on. Of course, she'd been wearing it since she got out of bed that morning, so it had become part of her head.


Phoebe's cake from Steins. Yummy.


She seems to be having a good time.



Craft time... a very important part of a birthday party for these girls.



This face says, "Look at me! I'm still up at 10pm! And I just had cake and ice cream!"


Opening presents:



She actually opened this earlier when Allen got home, but she wanted to show her friends the tennis clothes Allen's mom sent her - along with tennis balls and $$ for tennis camp this summer.



All in all, it was a great day.

The girls really had fun! My niece's birthday is coming up and I want to steal the crafts-making activity for her party. Sleepover may not be possible 'cause her friends wouldn't be allowed. I love the boas and the princess crowns. She looked every inch a princess.
