Pictures are a little backwards- Brooklon and Tia having their own fun after the party was done.
Tia.

Being silly together.


The whole group of friends - minus one girl that had to leave a little early.
(this is a long blog. Make sure you go all the way to the end even if there is a space. I'm not sure of how to get rid of the gaps)



Brooklon's 12 year old birthday
The Amazing Race!
Challenge #1 (We went to the DI) You have $2.00 and 10 minutes to find and accessory that will be used in another challenge. Don't be late and work together or you may get a penalty challenge.










(The girls each got an invitation saying either to wear as much green as you can or as much pink as you can. The colors determined the team you were put on. This is the GREEN TEAM!) Emerie, Jessica, Becka, Rebecca, and Marissa.





*The pink team got a penalty for running late so they had to run outside and write on the sidewalk with chalk a happy birthday sign.





Challenge#2 Take your shoes off and gather in a circle on the floor for a round of "Musical Nail Polish". Make sure every person on your team has at least 1 pink nail and 1 green nail. Good Luck!





Challenge #3 How is your dress making skills? I guess we'll see. Make a dress out of paper on one of your team mates. The dress must be wearable, modest, and as decorative as possible. You will be judged.

* This is where the accessory from the D.I. had to be used.
Challenge #4 was to put together a puzzle of either Justin Beiber or Jacob Black.- We used large posters of them glued to poster board.

Challenge#5 Was a Detour . They had to find as a team 1 balloon with a dog, 1 balloon with a hamster, 1 balloon with a cow, 1 balloon with a pig, etc.. out of many and pop them.





Challenge 6- decorate a cake for Brooklons birthday. Work together as a team. The pink team and their cake.




(Kirra, Cassidy, Kennedy, Brooklon, Maron, and Tia)

Green team trying to find what accessory to buy.

We planned the party for 3 hours. I thought maybe I had too much for them to do and worried if we would make it time wise. Wellllll .......they were speedy and finished everything in about an hour. (Not Cool!) so we played "What if"- a game they learned at Clear Creek- and Curses. We then jumped on the tramp and dug up an old game of pin the tail on the donkey. PHew!!! And one Mom and Dad opted to not pick one girl up until 2 1/2 hours late.:) Very cute girl though. Her (Tia) and Brooklon sewed with Brooklons new "Birthday" sewing machine. All in all they had a fun time. Brooklon has a cute bunch of good friends. Happy Birthday Brook.










Green teams finished product.
