Melissa's Girlfriends

Melissa had her birthday slumber party this Tuesday. She had 8 girls come over. (We missed you Brooklyn) When people hear that I had 9 12 and 13 year old girls over, they think that I am crazy. But really, Melissa's friends are really nice girls and I really enjoy them! We started off by having homemade pizza.

This is Daneah, Caitlyn, Lauren, Maleah, Kimmie, Sarah, Melissa, Emily, and Katie.
They had fun doing different poses, this is maybe half of their pics.
We had a special suprise for Melissa. When she went to the Lakefair Parade she saw some old cars and was drooling over them. Ray arranged for the owner of this car to come pick up the girls and we took them to Dairy Queen. 1/2 of them got to ride on the way there and 1/2 on the way back. The only sad thing was that it was raining and they couldn't ride w/ the top down.

We put a table in the middle of the living room so they could all sit together. Aurora (Melissa's cousin) that she was a big girl, too. She was loving it.
Katie, Melissa, and Kimmie. Melissa has this tradition that she likes to get a picture w/ each of her friends and have them come sit by her when she is opening the present she gets from them. She scored on the bday presents. She ended up w/ a little over $100 of gift cards and cash - Cool, now I don't have to school shop for her, she can do it herself. :)
How sweet, I even got to sit by her and have my pic taken.
They played outside and went down the slide, too. Kimmie, Daneah, Maleah, & Emily.
I love this picture of Kimmie and Katie - laughing and having a good time.
We got "forked" while the girls were here, someone came and put plastic forks in the backyard and a sign that said Happy Birthday Melissa. So, after they saw this we had to go play a prank on someone. We decided on the Oliver family.... we crammed 9 girls in the van and went to tp their house. Well, the girls were WAY too loud, and thanks to me not knowing that when I turned right, it was a cultasac, we got caught. But we had lots of fun and lots of laughs! They wanted to go more, but there were too many policeman out. They only stayed up till 3 a.m. I think everyone had a good time.
