The "Almost" Sleepover Party!

 For Kelsie's birthday we did an "almost" sleepover party (since we don't do sleepovers).  The girls came dressed in jammies and brought pillows and blankets.  It was a late night party until 10:30 and we did all the things you would do at a sleepover.  We had pizza for dinner, played a few games, decorated pillowcases, and then settled in for a movie and lots of snacks!  Here's her group of friends that came.  Most of them are from her class at school and a couple close neighbor friends.  She had the nicest group of friends in her class this year and they were so fun!!!

 One of the games we did was a get to know you beach ball game.  We threw the ball around and they had to answer the question their thumb touched.  There were also spots for "truth and dare" and the person next to you got to ask you a "truth" or send you an a dare.   They loved it!

 As the girls were doing their "truth and dare" questions, it came out that most of the girls like boys that live on our street.  Kelsie is surrounded by dozens of boys her age on our street and not many girls.  Anyway, as the girls said who they liked and we told them "oh, he lives across the street OR he lives three doors down" they were SO funny.  So at the end I dared them all to go run in the front yard and scream out who they like.  It was pretty funny since they were all yelling names of boys that live on our street!  :)  I do wonder what Kelsie yelled because she finds all the boys her age totally annoying!  Which is fine by me!


These are the pillowcases the girls decorated and then used for their movie night.  They turned out really cute!



 After the movie they ran around, chatted, and played some serious foosball!  Ity was honestly the funnest party I've ever done for Kelsie.  The were so happy to just hang out together and didn't care if there was much planned.  They are a really fun age.  I loved chatting and getting to know them.  Happy Birthday Kelsie!
