Emily’s a “tween”

One more year and she’ll officially be a teenager-eek! Last night, we hosted 8 girls overnight plus our own boys, bringing our grand total to ELEVEN kids! (Imagine the movie Cheaper by the Dozen) Our evening included pizza, decorating pillow cases, cake, presents, making furry flip-flops, Utube.com, lots of nail polish, pogo-stick contests, root beer floats, movies and of course staying up ALL NIGHT!

When Todd and I finally pried our weary selves out of bed around 7:00 a.m., most of the snacks in the house had been consumed and there were reports of many “stomach aches.” However, it didn’t stop them from devouring 2 dozen donuts for breakfast! My guess is that they’ll have quiet afternoons at home when they finally pass out! Overall, I think they had a blast. More party pics.
