I had so much fun planning Ashley's party this year, Pinterest was a huge help! We decided to do a jewelry party where each of her friends could make a bracelet to take home. To start off the party we had "bling" pages to color while we waited for everyone to arrive, this is one of Ashley's favorite things to do so she got on it right away. Then we split them up into 3 groups where my Mom, Steph, Becki and I helped them make their bracelets. It was a riot to see the concentration and the room was so quiet... with 11, 6 year olds, that was impressive! Her friends are all so sweet and polite, though, I shouldn't have been too surprised. After the bracelet making, they got to make an ice cream sundae and frost a cookie. There was major sugar overload, but that's supposed to happen at a birthday party, right!? After dessert Ashley opened her gifts and the girls got to play and show off their bracelets while we waited for their parents to arrive. Ashley was giddy and smiley all day, just the way it should be for the birthday girl! After her friend party we had the family over for dinner and opened more gifts. She was very gracious and made sure everyone got a hug and "thank you" after each gift :) Tuesday was her actual birthday and guess where she decided to go.... Red Robbin! The kids love that place.
