The Par-taay!

Saturday was Ashlyn's big friend party day!  It was quite the event.  I know it seems really crazy to have 20 kids over, but it's just what I like to do.  Ashlyn has a lot of great friends in the ward, and super nice girls at school, and...well...how do you limit it?   When my kids turn 10, they don't get a big bash anymore, and just invite 1 or 2 friends to the movie or an activity.  So the end is in sight..:) 
So sad for me.  
Here's what she did:

We had a few circle games in the house, then came outside (nice weather actually...) and hit a pinata.
So the cheapo pinata only made it through 1/2 the kids, and had to be duck taped part way through.  It started out as a cute yellow cake, and ended up as a rocket ship....:)
We then went to the basement for some skits.  The girls divided up into 3 groups and were given a bag of props.  They acted them out for each other, while Connor video taped them, then they watched themselves on our big screen TV.  It was hilarious!  I believe they are all ready for girls camp now.
Finally, they each decorated jumbo cupcakes with all kinds of frosting, and candies.  The cupcakes didn't look very edible when they were done, but they had a blast!
Our basement is getting closer to being finished, and I'm loving all the room.  We can put up 4 banquet tables in our "cultural hall" and comfortably accommodate 20 kids. Can't wait until it's all done!
