It seems like I was just posting Taryn is 8, but now she's 9!

Taryn's first sleepover party was a success. She invited 5 girls over. They had pizza and cupcakes. Taryn's dance teacher (poetryofthefoot.com) was generous enough to give a dance class at her house to all the girls. They had so much fun, dancing, playing games, and being girls.
The sleepover part was good, they were quiet and went to sleep early enough, although I'm hearing different stories about that.




We piled all the mattresses we had into Taryn's room so they could all be comfy, although they ended up in each others beds.


In the morning they realized they had forgotten to have a pillow fight, so they ran back upstairs to create this memorable event.

That's awesome. Birthday sleepovers were the best.

That is such a good idea to have a dance class party! I didn't know she was taking a dance class? How is she liking it? I miss teaching dance to Riley and Aislynn. I looked forward to it every week.

I love that they had a pillow fight the next morning! So great!

Tell her Happy Birthday!

Sounds like fun! You're a good Mom to let her have a sleepover.

Great pictures! I love the mattress pile pictures. Only kids could love sleeping that way! (Or not sleeping :) My girls had a great time.

Those are such cute pictures! I also love the idea of a dance class birthday party. I still haven't given Connor a real party yet, mainly because I'm uncreative and a total coward.

Seriously, I do not know what I have to blog about to get my mother to comment. I thought the miscarraige was my ticket for sure...

Anyway. Your party looked like a hit. I am so excited that Taryn got her first sleepover. I bet she about died from excitement. I can't wait to see you all! Who were those other two girls--not Delaney and not Malena's girls...

It's Kayla and Megan, our other neighbor friends.

That is so great! Slumber parties are the greatest. I can't believe she is 9!!

The pillow fight was pretty funny. Sleep overs were great. Although I wasn't a big fan of non-family sleepovers.
