Party time!

On Friday night we had Amanda's big 13th birthday party. I let her invite 13 friends knowing at least half would probably not be able to come. Nope, all but one was able to come! As they got to the party they had to guess how many gumballs were in the vase. The closest guess won all the gumballs. Amanda's friend MacKenna guessed 273 and there were 288. I'm sure MacKennas mom loved me sending home 288 gumballs with her!


After eating pizza and A LOT of bread sticks the girls gathered up to play a little Left-Right-Center. I got two sets of dice thinking that they would split up in two groups. They didn't want to, so the game was a little crazy with all twelve girls trying to play at once!


For her party Amanda had a little Rice Crispie cake. Not only does she not like cake that well these go really good in the chocolate fountain!


This is where most of the party took place. If your wondering, the trampoline can hold twelve 13 year olds, a 10 year old, one 6 year old and an almost 3 year old, no problem! No one got hurt, even if the neighbors thought someone was dying by the amount of screaming going on!


The party was supposed to end at nine, but last girl didn't leave until after 10. You would have thought that getting these little gift bags as they left would have been enough to get them out the door! It really was fun having a bunch of screaming teenage girls at our house! Amanda has chosen some really good friends. They are not only good girls, but a lot of fun!
