Party Success!!
Miranda's party/sleepover was a success! When I say success, I mean, no over-the-top craziness, messes, and just good ole' fun!! All the girls got here on time (right before 6pm), and we headed out to Razzberry Lips first. These are all the girls. Miranda is the 2nd to the right.
This place is soooooo girly girl that my youngest dd Veronica would have gone crazy if she was there!! Anyway...the girls have to sit at this round table and pick which nail polish color they want. While they are waiting for their nails to dry, they start to get their hair done. This place has different themes to pick from, so Miranda picked Rockstar Diva. The accessory that came w/ this theme was a headseat..LOL. It was really neat how they did their hair. It's actually really simple. They just mainly took their hair in sections and twisted it! They also had light make-up done and the finishing touch was glitter in their hair! They all turned out so beautiful!
When they were done with the hair & make-up, they played a couple of games in the store. One of them was the Limbo!
But, I would say the "highlight" was when they had to stand outside of the store and do a dance routine with a couple of the girls who worked there.
It was sooo cute & hilarious at the same time! I give them credit for doing it because I know if it was me, I'd be totally embarassed!! If you want to check it out...CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO!!
When we were done there, we headed over to Macaroni Grill for dinner. Yum yum!
After they ate, the waiters came with Miranda's birthday cake and sang Happy Birthday to her. For some reason, the girls didn't want to eat the cake, so a couple of them thought it would be hilarious to stick their noses in them. Crazy girls!!
Done with dinner! Now off to my house for the "partay!"
The girls change into jammies and start to play Twister! Oh..fun!!!!
Opening gifts....
I also taped a little bit of us singing Happy Birthday. The adult person you hear talking is my sister in law..lol.

The girls also played other games like Charades, and "Guess Who I Am." We also did a game called "Who Knows Miranda Best." It was a multiple choice question test that I made up. I thought of 5 questions and they had to choose what the right answers were. Her friend Sara (the littlest one) got all the answers right! I forgot to buy a prize for that game so I just gave her a dollar..LOL! Anywho, the girls had chips, candy, & soda to snack on for the rest of the night! The girls only got a couple hours of sleep! I went to bed at 3:30 and they were all still up! When I got up at 8:30, they were all up and ready to go..lol. There was a Children's Ministry appreciation breakfast that morning at 9:30 that my hubby and oldest son was going to, so he took Miranda & two of her friends with him since their parents were going to be there too. LOL, I heard they were like ZOMBIES at the breakfast!! Overall, they were all so well behaved, and very respectful!!! Oh...and FYI, my dh took the boys out to dinner and movies that night and didn't get home till 1am. Per my daughters instructions!!!!
Last picture in the morning. One of her friends is in the bathroom so I missed her!

Looks like you had a blast! That is some birthday she had there. I have an 11 year old daughter too and she does love those girlie things so I could imagine. Anyway, we are living in Sri Lanka now but we do spend Christmas in the Philippines every year so we get reunited with friends and family.
Have a good week!

How did I miss this?! What fun!! We have a place here similar to that Lips place, however, its quite a drive so I opted against that for Taylor's birthday.
What fun! Looks like you did well. I know it's cliche' but it IS amazing how fast the time goes -- our kids are growing up!
