Ruby's Party

Ruby's "Real Birthday" was on Sunday, so Saturday night as she was laying in bed trying to fall asleep she yelled out "Mom, don't forget to put the Birthday quilt on me". I didn't forget and she woke up so happy. I took a photo of her in front of the quilt after church. Later Sunday her Primary teacher from church Ms. Jinky called and asked if she could drop off Ruby's present... I was just as surprised as Ruby that she gave her a sewing machine!!! Needless to say she spent the rest of the day sewing. Thank you Jinky!

Ruby's birthday party- a slumber party was the following Friday night. I sewed little sleeping bags out of chenille and slipped the invitations into them (sorry, I forgot to take a photo of the sleeping bag).
We ate pizza and played games.I tried to make a cake that looked like all the girls tucked into bed. They loved figuring out which face was who.

We opened presents!

Then we put all the girls in trash bags and sent them out to the garage to paint pillow cases. They all opted for modern art.

We watched Game Plan, then read storied and went to bed.

We had Micky Mouse and Hello Kitty waffles for breakfast then everyone went home with a bag full of candy jewelry and a CD of Ruby's favorite songs .
I am a recent convert to I tunes (no, I do not own an I pod) but did you realize that you can print out the CD case with all the songs on that playlist right from I tunes??? So cool.

Overall they I think everyone had a great time and I actually got more sleep them I was expecting.
