Katie's Birthday Party

Katie turns 6 next week and we had her birthday party at our house today. We had 9 little girls over for the High School Musical festivities. Who knew how loud little girls could be??? Who knew how excited they could get over the littlest thing? And when one of them starts squealing they all join in. The sheer volume they create will drive you to the medicine cabinet for some ibuprofen. At one point during the party Jeremy looked at me and said, "Girls are so weird." I was like what are you talking about. He said, "Look at them. These five are playing "High School Musical Sing It", and those five over there are just sitting around and doing nothing but talking." I guess he thought it odd that they weren't doing anything. Katie had a blast though and that's all that matters. Here are some pictures from the festivities.
We played pin the tiara on Sharpay at the party, which was a hit by the way. I told Jeremy that Katie resembles Fival from "An American Tail" in this picture. She's too cute.


Here are all 10 little girls.

Jeremy took the girls on a scavenger hunt at the party. Here are some of the girls reaction after Jeremy read them their next clue....."Go to where there is lots of water. The clue is hidden in a very dark place. Be sure you don't wake the bear." The girls reactions were prescious. Katie is in shock knowing the clue is in the cave. Avery looks very stoic, and poor Hannah looks absolutely terrified of finding a bear asleep in the cave.

Jeremy leading the girls to the cave.

Before every clue Jeremy had the girls say, "Mr. Jeremy is super cool and super awesome." By the time he was on the third or fourth clue they began yelling without any prompting from him.

The girls finally found the treasure. Jeremy had rigged up a fake snake in the treasure box to pop out when they lifted the lid. He didn't quite get the reaction he was hoping for.

The girls singing "We're All In This Together" at the top of their lungs.
I think they all had a blast. We're exhausted but it was a fabulous party.
