The Birthday Girl turns the BIG 8!

Thursday was Ame's big day, one she

has anticipated for a very long time!

She started her day off just as she requested,

with breakfast in bed

(hot cocoa and Einstein Bagels) She had fun opening gifts from

her family. Kaipo was soo excited

to give her the musical card he picked

out all by himself, just for his sister!

Then it was off to school where

there was MORE celebrating

and Happy Wishes!

Because she is in the spanish program

and has 2 classes, she celebrates with

her home room teacher, which is

her morning class.

So instead of bringing ice cream bars

at the end of the day to share with her

class, they got them at 10 am.

She got her happy birthday song

in Spanish and a fun sign,

that all of her classmates signed.

FELIZ CUMPLEANOS!

Dad surprised Ame by joining her for

a lunch date and enjoyed

the 'oh soo yummy" school lunch.

She got to play with her birthday gifts after school,

then we went out to dinner that evening

to finish off the first day of celebrations for Ame.

Friday after school was round 2 of the fun!

We hosted a

GLAMOUR PARTY

for 9 of her friends and

WOW was that a house of

craziness!!

The girls got to decorate a frame

to put their GLAMOUR picture in,

as a keepsake of the festivities.

In addition, there were 3 stations:

hair, makeup and nails.

I invited some of the Young WOmen

to be my expert sylists and they did

a FABULOUS job!

After everyone was GLAMORIZED,

we played musical nail polish

(like musical chairs, but they pass a

bottle of nail polish and when the music

stops they paint one toe nail with that color).

We had a few spills on dresses and some CRAZY looking

toes, but I think they had fun with the game.

We opened presents, and each gift giver

got their picture taken.

We ate LOTS of snacks and enjoyed

the oh so easy ice cream cake.

And of course what is a

GLAMOUR party

without a toast to the birthday girl?!

CHEERS!

I hope it was a

PARTY to REMEMBER

(cuz boy was it a lot of work for this mama)!
But what more would I want

for my one and only super SASSY,

BEAUTIFUL 8 year old girl.

We sure love you Ame...

attitude and all!!

And to top off our day, we enjoyed a visit

from the RObinson Family.

Since Savannah came up for the party

we decided to have all the gang join

us afterwards for pizza and some more fun!

And it sure was FUN!!

Thanks for coming up guys.

We hope we can do it again soon!
