G's 12th Birthday Extravaganza

Birthday week celebration for G started the night of September 30th. While she and about 6 of her best friends were attending the middle school homecoming dance, the birthday fairy decorated for the grand occasion.

I promise that the birthday girl's door did look a lot more festive before those 6 giggling girls spent the night and ran in and out and up and down the stairs at least a zillion times.


Sweet Nanny made a fabulous pink door sign in honor of the occasion! Pink and sparkles? G couldn't have been happier!


Friday after the dance, the 6 ladies spent the night. They stayed up doing what sounded like renovation work on the 2nd floor till at least 2am. I crashed way before that! The next morning, husband tried to sneak out for some quiet time before they woke up. He thought that, as late as they stayed up, he was good till at least 10am. Oh, no...They woke up around 9am, and as he was our doughnut guy, he had to hurry back home with breakfast.

As it was the first weekend in October, the air was a bit chillier than normal. Don't think that stopped those crazy girls from jumping in the pool at 10am! In their pajamas!!! After alternating between the pool and golf cart rides around the 'hood, it was finally time for our tailgating themed lunch. TROY had a game that day, so it was only proper to start the day off with chicken fingers, wings, rotel and husband's famous salsa! Oh, and cookie cake!


Some were not so crazy about having their picture made...even though I warned told them I was posting at least one pictures regardless of the faces they made :)


Oh, don't let me leave out the party crashers. Two cousins and a down-the-street-neighbor found their way into the party. They opted to watch football during lunch instead of participating in opening of the presents.


Overall, G said that she had a wonderful birthday week and is enjoying the life of a 12 year old!
