This year Rachel opted to have a late night birthday party. It was a hit! It really was so much fun for a 10 year old.
First of all, Brad came to the party like a half an hour early which was totally fine. They had fun and got started on their decorating their treat bags early.
Pretty soon more started showing up.....
Then we had a french toast bar for dinner. Yummy!
There were a few kids that didn't like orange julius! I didn't think that was possible!
Then it was time to open presents. We did things a little backwards because we needed it dark outside, and when you're birthday is June 21st....the longest day of the year....we needed all the help we could get.
After presents we headed outside and the kids played tag and ghost in the graveyard while Trav and I got everything set up.
Here's the snack bar....
But before they attacked the snacks I needed a group shot.
Look how cute they are!
They insisted they have a pyramid.
Okay, now you can fill up your snack bags.....
We even had glowsticks. I like Maddie's look....
Once everyone had their boxes full to their hearts desire and their spots ready and warm....we were ready for the movie. We did have to start it when it was still light outside because I didn't want them going home too late!
Trav even pulled the tiki torches out to give it a cool effect (and less mosquitoes) when it got darker. It did eventually get dark and was much easier to see the movie, but the kids were too busy playing and jumping on the tramp there wasn't too much movie watching going on anyway. We watched Maleficent and had everyone home by 10:15.
Afterward Rach said it was "the best birthday party ever!" It really was.
