Come on, roll a 12!
So she officially turned 12 in April. But, as life is for a lot of us, we didn't have an open date for her party till mid-May. She mused about a few things she wanted to do, she had to think because she didn't want any repeats of past birthdays...did that, been there
pajama party/toilet paper party, (that was fun, the girls almost peed their pants when they about got caught), Strawberry Shortcake (I saved all my miniatures one day for my little girl and by golly she was going to have a Strawberry Shortcake and Hopsalot party), spring fling (with a birthday around Easter this is inevitable), Mickey Dee's (McDonald's, a 3 year olds paradise), scavenger hunt at the mall (way to test early shopping skills), Hello Kitty party, and more....
so a little bunko, food, crafts, and time to be crazy
my cute niece made some flip-flops like this for a dance performance once and we thought they were funky and cute. Totally easy, pick strips of fabric, cut out and tie in double knots over shoe.
The girls really got off on this and even planned certain days to all wear their pair to school...twinners, how cute!
a little BUNKO!
Who isn't a Twilight fan? This is a great flour game that makes you look "vampirish", the winner got the collector series box of Twilight candy.I first played with friends in middle school and we all loved it.
You take a cup, pack it tight with flour, tip it over on a flat surface, then place part of a Hershey's on top, then each person takes a turn cutting away part of the mound so as not to let the chocolate fall (a bit like Jenko and Tumbling Tower), if it does fall on your turn, then you have to hold your hands behind your back and nestle your nose into the flour to pick up the chocolate with your teeth (after this bobbing for apples isn't so bad, at least the water doesn't make white boogies).
the game definitely has that "oh, please not me factor!"
Flour is good in cookies and cakes not noses and eyes.
Prompted by Makenzy and Cayleb who kept digging into the big plastic bucket of flour and throwing it on themselves, the older girls eventually erupted into a flour fight too, Cayleb thought it was so cool they were so crazy.
Later they played Rock Band and ALL jumped on the tramp. What a fun group of girls. Happy, Happy Birthday Makayla!
