Parties--Parties and more parties

Carlee's party was the first party--I am not a big party person but Carlee hasn't had a party in a couple of years so I thought why not--I certainly didn't have anything else to do!

She invited 10 of her friends and we were going to heat up the jacuzzi in the pool but....Russ tried getting it to start about 15 min before everyone was suppose to get here and still couldn't get it to kick on 15 minutes after everybody was already here. I didn't have a lot of stuff planned because this was going to be a big part of the party. I asked him (very nicely) to try again because it was freezing outside and we really needed a jacuzzi. He went out and started crossing wires and heard a loud pop--not a good sign! He thinks he might have blown the whole motor and luckily for us not himself. I was proud of myself for coming up with the idea to use our jacuzzi tub (that we haven't turned on for over 10 years.) It worked! We put some candles in the bathroom and played Christmas music and changed the party to be in rotations. Since it was in our bathroom we could add bubbles and the girls loved it. I was so glad they were only 11 and we were able to pull this off. Carlee told me it was her favorite part of the party. (and we aren't going to worry about the pool jacuzzi for a couple more months!)

Lovely green masks!


After the rotations, the girls watched Ramona and Beezus (such a cute show!)


Christmas cupcakes for dessert. The girls seem to have a good time but maybe they were just being nice!

This is pretty much the cutest birthday party ever! Love the green masks!

You deserve a major award (but not a leg lamp, tee hee!) for pulling this off with the broken jacuzzi!
