Chloe's 10th Birthday Party......

Friday after school was PARTY day. Bob the bus driver was kind enough to drive the kids to our house (we normally have to pick them up about a mile down the road). Perhaps he had a plan....to QUIET the bus down a bit sooner!

Once all the girls arrived, Dillon was in heaven....no actually he probably knew he'd be getting "ditched" sooner or later.

We headed to the kitchen to start making ice cream sundaes. No cake at this party, just ice cream and lots of toppings. Each girl made and ate their own creation. They had lots of fun making them!

After that everyone got to paint a star pencil holder and a door knob hanger. We had lots of paint and decorations to glue on them. While we waited for the paint to dry Chloe opened her presents. After that the girls finished up their projects.

Then it was time to see the bedroom makeover! I think everyone loved Chloe's new bedroom.

Finally, Mario Kart on the Wii, computer games and the girls played upstairs.

A fun time!!

The calm before the storm!
Some of the ingredients that made this party a success.

The gang is all here, ice cream sundaes prepared and ready to be eaten.

A few samples.

Time to paint, listen to ipods, chit-chat and everything else that 9 &10 year old girls do.

"I wonder why I'm not painting????"

Time for presents!!!!
