First Sleepover

For the big number 9, Sophie decided on a sleepover

She has never had a sleepover party before and has only had 1 actual sleepover at our house..with just 1 friend

We decided on staying at a hotel near us. 

We have actually stayed at the hotel before and knew how wonderful it was

The girls were soooo excited!

Have you ever heard a room full of little girls scream with delight? 

It's quite loud!

First thing first, presents!

a quick show on TV and some snacks...cheese balls, yum!

Then it was time to swim

With 3 big pools, plus a water slide, lazy river and spa, there was plenty of swimming

We played lots of games in the pool

Then it was back to the room for makeovers and more snacks!

It was getting close to supper time so the girls had to get ready..including makeup

This is a totally new concept to our family

I don't wear makeup, unless it's for a special occasion 

Sophie's friend helped everyone out and also had plenty of body spray to share

I swear we all smelt like strawberries

The gang

Now don't go and feel sorry for Little man...with all the girls, he had plenty of attention

As we were walking thru the lobby, we noticed it started to rain so we took a detour outside and went on a nature hike and danced in the rain

and stopped to see the fish

at the restaurant waiting for our table...such manners

Finally time for cake!

(The girls ate most of the cookie cake for breakfast)

and s'mores!

We found some Jumbo sized marshmallows at the store and I have to say, they were perfect for s'mores!

Finally back in the room, we turned on a movie. Unfortunately, only half of them made it thru the whole movie

Notice Snowball and Little man claimed the couch while the other 4 girls snagged the king size bed!

Luckily me and hubby had an adjoining room so we had our own bed with no little rascals all night.

Sophie has said it was the best birthday party so far and Snowball is already planning her party for the same hotel....just 6 months away.
