Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Maxwell did a swing dancing class with other 7th graders a few weeks ago. It was two nights and the parents got to come up and watch at the end of the second night. Maxwell did great!
He’s got rhythm, he’s got moves…he’s got it all!
Good job Maxwell!
After all the birthday fun on Saturday, we did even more celebrating on Sunday when Samantha finally got to open her family presents…
They were all a hit, especially the 2001 “vintage” Barbie van, complete with a Discman and cd’s!
We then had a fun dinner out at Samantha’s choice, Bricktops!
I love celebrating this 9 year old!
After Samantha’s pajama par-tay-tay in the morning, she got invited to another Taylor Swift par-tay that afternoon! Taylor outfit #2 coming right up….
All these girls had no problem partying like Taylor all day long!
Samantha then got to have a sleepover that night…it was her actual birthday after all! I set up the playroom special for the girls…
They all had a great time and slept all night long! How could they not after partying all day?!
That’s how you celebrate 9 with your friends!
We had a room full of girls and they all had fun! There was LOTS of bracelet making going 0n (and the bracelets were a HUGE success thanks to GJ’s work organizing words into little bags and pre-cutting elastic!)…
some nail painting…
some Bingo games…
lots of singing and dancing…
I love seeing her giggling and laughing!
But most importantly, there were lots of friends!
Make a wish birthday girls!
The best birth-TAY par-TAY for my favorite Taylor Swift fans!!
Happy birthday Samantha and Frances!
A few things that just can’t be beat:
1. having a birthday one day apart from your BFF
2. having a birthday party on your actual birthday
3. have that party be all things T. Swift!
We did all that and more on the morning of Samantha’s birthday. She and Frances had the ultimate Pajama Par-Tay-Tay!
I got the club all set up for the party with different stations – complete with appropriate lyrics! We had a Taylor bingo game, face gems, bracelet making, and nail painting.
We also had a DJ station complete with microphone….
and some really excited DJs! haha!
They were actually great, did a fantastic job, and were super helpful! Couldn’t have done it without them!
The birthday girls!
And my favorite Swiftie loving 9 year old!
We even had a special appearance by #87 at the party! Yay Robert!
More party fun tomorrow!
