Birthday Party December 19-20, 2020

With social distancing happening.  With covid still being the major fear for many.  We are blessed that our kids have such great friends, so near by.  And we have felt comfortable to be with those friends during these uncertain times.  So when birthdays came around I asked if we could have those friends over to have a sleepover.

To prepare for the party, Grace and Samantha made the birthday cakes.  They did a very good job.  I just sat back and watched and of course took pictures.

After the cakes were done I iced the cakes with chocolate icing.  then part of what the kids chose to do at their party was to decorate the cakes with their friends.  So I provided jelly beans and sprinkles and let them have fun.

The boys were very generous with the jelly beans and sprinkles.  

The girls were a bit more careful with their decorations and went somewhat minimal.

These are the finished cakes.  Grace, Samantha, and Riley did the top one.  Glen, Kyle, and Keegan did the bottom one.

After decorating cakes, making pizza, eating pizza, and eating cake the kids decided to play tag outside in the snow with glow sticks.  They were out there for close to a half an hour which amazed me considering it was dark and cold.  But they had a great time with it.

We must have worn out these party animals.

As one of her presents, Grace got a mermaid blanket.  She wanted a picture of it.

After the glow in the dark tag the kids gathered down stairs to watch a movie with pop corn, then try to get at least a little sleep during the night.

It was the first sleep over my kids had ever had.  I think everyone had a great time.
