Happy Birthday, Paige!

Today is my baby’s birthday! It’s hard to believe that she was that sweet and happy baby just 13 years ago. We had her birthday party this weekend for her friends. The girls played games: Name that nail polish, Guess how many cotton balls are in the jar, Paige Trivia and Vote on the best robe. Each game had a silly little prize that they actually loved. Here are a few pics w/ some of the girls and their prizes. It was cute to see them getting into each game. They came up with some really great names for the nail polish colors and had lots of fun with the Paige Trivia.

Who has the best robe? Contest

After the games, there was a scavenger hunt which was more like a screaming group of girls running from room to room after two words of their next clue was read off the card. I tried to get a few pictures, but it was crazy! Here they are after the game was complete :)

At the end of the scavenger hunt was a basket of things they needed to do their nails – nail polish remover, some colors to choose from, emery boards and spray to dry their nails – and then some popcorn and a movie. So they watched a movie while they painted each other’s nails and only stopped briefly to have some birthday pie. Paige requested chocolate pie this year instead of a cake.

The rest of the night was spent playing Truth or Dare (pics below) after they were supposed to be sleeping, making prank phone calls that I learned about the next day and watching a little bit of a movie that was playing in the background. The next morning they had a breakfast of fruit, mini muffins and strudels in true spa style before the parents started to arrive.

Paige’s birthday celebrations weren’t complete, though. After taking her to pick out her present that afternoon (next post), we met my mom, Buddy, Crystal and Kalie for dinner at Baby A’s. I’ve been craving seafood lately, so the fish tacos came close to satisfying that urge and Paige got her beloved queso. Seriously, this kid likes queso more than anyone I know. She could care less what the actual meal is as long as she gets queso first!

Happy 13th Birthday, Paige!!
