Layla turns 8!

I'm just going to chug along like I never left ;)

Layla opted for a "low-key" slumber party with her friends this year instead of a big to-do with everybody. Of course... I can't JUST do a slumber party. It has to be the slumber party to end all slumber parties!  Between my DNA and Pinterest, there just is no other option.


She had a blast and all of her friends declared it the "Best Party Ever" (I'm pretty sure at ages 6-8, every party is the best party ever- plus they were all on sugar highs- but I'll take it).


Her morning started with a little trickery. Very little. As in, she crawled underneath it and then asked us why the heck we did that. When we told her it was for the birthday girl to run thru, Little Brother took off and busted it up before she could.

She chose IHOP for family birthday breakfast and then on to decorating before picking up her friends.
The bed/table:


 Layla from 0 - 8. Sweet sweet!





 The sky jello needed more jello...


They played Twister, school, house, and fashion show. I painted 50 little toes with polka dots, zebra stripes, and rainbows. They made their own pizza and decorated pillow cases. We sang Happy Birthday and watched movies.






Basically, I wore these little girls out :)  All were tucked in their sleeping bags by 9:30 and the last one fell asleep by 10:30!




The next morning, Annie helped make rainbow pancakes...


... before all five girls headed off to church with Nathan :)
(I had a photo shoot/rehearsal. I managed to get five little girls ready in time, I just couldn't get myself ready!)


 Aren't they sweet?!
