We had a busy birthday weekend! Mom came on Wednesday evening and helped us get ready for Bea’s sleepover. We planned a scavenger hunt around the house and we got pillowcases ready that the girls colored with fabric pens. Here’s the party planning committee – they’re working on a candy rainbow for the end of the scavenger hunt.

We had seven girls over for the sleepover! They slept in the basement and watched a movie. The basement floor was sprinkled with popcorn when I looked the next morning. It was a little crazy, but I think Bea loved it. Here’s her cake. Mom and I laughed as we made those funny little penguins out of gumdrops and marshmallows.

It’s hard to believe she’s 9. Here she is opening her presents and then having cake number two with just family. I’m so glad Mom came to spend the birthday weekend with us. That made it extra special.
