9th Birthday Party

Today we finally had Miss Libby's 9th birthday party! What started out as what I thought was going to be just a few kids coming over to celebrate with Libby turned into 10 kids being at the party. But that's not too bad because they always seem to entertain themselves. Here are some (ok...a lot) of pictures from her party today.

Here is the birthday girl with the banner that I made for her in her party colors

On the front door we had a kitty sign (Libby wanted a kitty themed party) and a Wipe Your Paws mat
Here is the centerpiece that I made. It was time consuming and I have several burns on my fingertips from the hot glue but Libby aboslutely loved them so that made it all worth it!
Her friends started to arrive


Last year when it was time for Libby to open her presents everyone was jumping in her face at the same time and shoving gifts at her. So, this year I had them play Pass The Kitty (hot potato).
Everyone sat in a circle with their gifts in front of them. When the music stopped whoever had the kitty would then give Libby their present. That made it a little more calm for Libby opening her gifts and gave me an opportunity to take a picture of Libby, her friend, and the gift they were giving her. Here are Libby and Molly:
Libby and Gabby
Libby and Riley
Libby and Alexa
Libby and Avery
Libby and Maddy
Libby and Tommy
Libby and Camryn
Libby and Leighton
Libby and Aunt Debs
Libby and Aunt Karen
After the party was over Libby's friend Maddy stayed to spend the night and the two of them just finally fell asleep so I'm now headed there myself! It's been a long busy day for me and I only had 3 hours of sleep last night so I'm ready for bed!
