Noelle had some of her friends over this weekend for a costume party.  It was a fun happy day!  From left to right, we have Hanna, Brianna, Carson (50s girl), Chloe, Landry (Beetlejuice, lol), Noelle, Emily, and Ava!<\/p>\n

Noelle made a sign for the front door that said, \u201cMonster Party!\u201d<\/p>\n

These Halloween parties just came together, seriously.  I\u2019ve had this mousse idea for years, and I finally said, \u201cI\u2019m doing it!\u201d  It wasn\u2019t that hard and was super tasty!<\/p>\n

First, we made fruit loop bracelets and played Halloween Bingo until everyone arrived.<\/p>\n

Then we took lots of pictures!  I asked all of the girls to act out what they were wearing.  They did a great job!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8920\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had a fun little field trip down the street to check out our neighbor\u2019s Halloween blow-ups\u2026 a high-light for our girls each fall!  I wanted to get a picture of Anna Kate with the blow-up kitty, but it\u2019s head moves and she wouldn\u2019t get near her.  Maybe next year!<\/p>\n

This is a picture of Noelle scaring Dracula while the headless horseman rides on in the background, lol!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8926\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Love this happy picture!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8928\"<\/a> \"IMG_8940\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Emily\u2019s and Ava\u2019s moms brought cupcakes and cake pops!  They were awesome!  The girls actually each took home a dessert platter for later, which I thought turned out to be a fun idea!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8949\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last on the agenda (save the best for last), was a dance party!  Noelle and Brianna taught the girls a dance to \u201cWitch Doctor\u201d they learned at theater camp this summer.  <\/p>\n

I think this was the activity that held their interest the longest.  They kept giving Mike song requests, and making up new dances\u2026 they are so cute!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8993\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Noelle asked all of her friends to get in a circle, and then she threw rose petals in the middle for them to play with\u2026 I love this picture because you can see the petals in the air!  <\/p>\n

\"IMG_8995\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Everyone started playing with rose petals which was a sweet way to end the party!  I always let the girls pick the roses.  I\u2019ve taught them which ones are on their way out, and they respect that boundary\u2026 plus, I need to dead head them soon anyway!  I want them to remember a childhood full of roses, so to speak!  <\/p>\n

Just fyi, Anna Kate had so much fun playing with the big girls, and we\u2019ll have a party just for her when she\u2019s 6!  No seriously, 3 year olds are a hard age for me if there are lots of them in one place together (just being honest)!  I know my limits and respect them!  Don\u2019t worry, Anna Kate felt like such a big kid, especially because Rose was asleep upstairs through this party, and Anna Kate got to skip her nap!  It was a very special day, and I\u2019m glad these sweet girls could come celebrate their imaginations together!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
