A real-live Birthday Party!

Sunday, December 18, 2011

For the past 2 years, we have taken Peyton to Great Wolf Lodge for her birthday - but now it's really a family trip (although she still claims it as 'for my birthday').  So it was time for a real birthday party with invitations, a cake, presents and friends.

Christmastime is s tough time for a party - everyone is so booked and this year - two friends had colds, but a few still managed to find time to drive across town to Skate Town to celebrate Peyton turning 10!


 Her very own, store-bought (much to my dismay) birthday cake with P E Y T O N candles.  Chocolate cake, whipped frosting - not up for debate!

 Keaton making the wise choice of putting on his knee pads...his balance is improved, but if he gets going too fast...you just never know!

 Peyton and Gracie - BFFs on the rink

 Gracie, Peyton, Michayla and Abby...Alexis is still putting on her skates!

 The birthday chicken dance...who knew?

 Time for cake and ice cream - and of course a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday to You"!

 Blowing out her candles!

 Opening presents with friends...this made all the planning and shopping for birthday stuff and invitations, etc all worth while...she was beaming!

 A blanket from Abby - with her name embroidered on it - very cool...and very snuggly!

 A little something extra from Alexis - a holiday scene make-it kit

 The bling peace pillow - she saw this while we were back to school shopping in August...it's been tough to keep hidden all these months!

The girls - ready to head back out and skate and do the hokey pokey!
