Finally, Claire's 10th birthday party celebration!

We were finally able to have Claire's birthday party. This year she wanted to go roller skating and do a sleepover. Everyone had a blast!

 Jeff had fun teaching two of the girls how to skate and by the end of our 2 hour time slot, one of the girls was skating without hanging onto anything!

 Addison V, Allison, Averi, Addisyn M, Claire, Karsen, and Addison H.

 Claire was lucky to have her cousin Ellie here to celebrate with her!

 As if skating isn't tiring enough, we then hit the pool for some free swim and some pool games!

 Claire wanted a taco bar for her birthday dinner and the girls all seemed to enjoy the meal.

 The first water game was Freeze Your Brain. We asked each girl a question about Claire. If they answered correctly, they got to dump a cup of ice water on Claire. If they were incorrect, Claire got to dump the water on them! They all loved the anticipation of this game!

 Claire especially loved to dump water onto her cousin Ellie! Brr! Thankfully Ellie was a great sport about it!

 The next game we played put the girls into two teams. They had to pour water over their head into the next persons cup without turning around or looking back. The final person in line then turns around to dump the water into the bowl and the first team to fill their bowl wins. The girls seemed to enjoy this game and the competition!

 The final game we played consisted of ping pong balls, each with a letter of the alphabet on it. We put the girls in teams of two and on Go, they had to go in one at a time to find a letter they needed to spell a specific word. This was so much fun and we mixed up the teams many times and played many different ways. The girls played this for an hour at least! Easy, cheap entertainment and so fun to watch!

 One would think by 10pm these kids would be exhausted! Think again! They stayed up until 1am giggling and talking! So fun!

 Claire and her two besties, Karsen and Addisyn, got to spend a few extra hours together after the other girls left. I love having these girls together! They have been friends since Kindergarten and their friendships are so special! What beautiful weekend! God is so good!
