McKayla's 7th Bday Party

McKayla asked to have a sleepover party this year. Although I felt like she was still a little young, I went with it and we had a great time. I limited the number of friends she could invite and gave all the girls the option of doing just a "late over" so everyone was comfortable and happy. We ended up with 12 cute little girls for the party and then 5 slept over which was perfect. The weather was great, the girls so cute and sweet and my two best friends came to help me (yes, I made them sleepover!). Once the kiddos were in bed (I have to give Todd all the credit for getting them to finally fall asleep) we even got to go out and sit by the firepit as adults to watch the super moon. In the morning, we enjoyed donuts and the girls played with all the new toys (while my girls and I enjoyed conversation over coffee).

An early gift the morning of the party
