Slumber Party!

So the bribe to keep Emily from being sad about not being able to get her birthday wish to go to New York, was to let her have a slumber party. It worked out that the kids were out of school on Thursday and Friday, so we were able to have the party on her actual birthday. The girls all came by between 4 and 6. Until the last one made it they entertained themselves playing games, and showing off their talents.




We had pizza for dinner and for dessert the girls frosted and decorated their own mini cupcakes. After that Emily opened her presents and then we started activities.





They each got to make a sleep mask and decorate a pillowcase. They played "Truth or Dare" and version of "Spin the Bottle" where they took turns spinning bottles of nail polish. Whoever the end was pointing at had to paint one toenail with that color.




Then we did blindfolded makeovers where the person applying makeup on another girl was blindfolded. What a hoot! The girls laughed and laughed. Even the self proclaimed "tomboys" got in on the action. Next the girls were blindfolded and had lipstick applied for our version of "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" where the tried to lay a smooch on a poster of The Jonas Brothers. They played Musical Sleeping Bags (substitute for Musical Chairs).



There was of course a pillow fight before popcorn and some tv. After a busy day at school and a fun night, everyone was asleep before midnight. I made pancakes for them in the morning and they played with Em's new toys until their ride came. Emily had a great time!
