A 10 Year Old's Sleepover

Yep, folks....this one's gonna be long too !

We've spent an entire evening with six 9-11 year old girls (and one that's 5) and we haven't had a bit of bickering or drama.  They have been a sheer pleasure and have kept me smiling for the last several hours!

The girls' table....

The doll's table (yes, those are real miniature brownies)....

The eagerly waiting birthday girl (this picture makes her look so small)....

Smiles!  They complimented every little detail and were such little joys!  Lucy's dinner choice:  pasta w/ fresh bacon bits & blackberry soda....dessert is brownies, pomegranate, raspberries and blueberries w/ your choice of hot peach or blueberry tea.  pass the sugar, please!

Sipping tea!

The dolls had everything their mothers had (and the mom's MAY have helped them finish it off).

Ellie whispering to Jessica-Anne.  I think Jessica-Anne was nervous sitting there with all these new dolls she didn't know!

Happy Birthday to You...Happy Birthday to You!....

Happy Biiiiiiiirthday dear, Lucy!  Happy birthday to you!!

Painting flower vases for their dolls....

The flower vases...

May I introduce you to Lilly & Elizabeth, Fiona & Cordelia, Shannon & Rebecca, Meg & Felicity, Lucy & Felicity, Ellie & Jessica Anne and Iris & Leonora Leonore

Making house slippers for the dolls....
 (By the way, Lilly here, reported that God officially gave her her first miracle today.  You see, she had a migraine and wasn't going to be able to come.  Meg had already left for the party and Lilly was praying as hard as she could that God would heal her headache so she could too.  Well, He did and Grandpa came back for her and we're just all so glad!!)

 Even Cashew got some!

Stephen medicated several little fingers...they got a little over-eager with the hot glue gun...

Tying knots in the fleece to make doll sleeping bags while watching the Samantha movie (some were more interested in the movie than others)....

Reading their way closer to sleepy-land...


Well, some of them read...some decided to use a mini projector instead (yes...in bed).

And....they're out!

Meg and Lil (because unltimately, when you're tired...you stick with who's familiar ;)....

Lu and Fiona...

Ellie and Shannon...

Nightie-night folks!!
