We survived!!!

Last night, we threw Briana her very first sleepover birthday party.  She decided she wanted to have a movie themed party, and this is what we came up with.We had movie concessions on the kitchen island (the popcorn machine was a huge hit!).

We turned our family room into the movie theater. 

Complete with a ticket booth!

We made a really cute poster for all of Briana's friends to sign for her.  And we had silver and gold balloons.

Anyway, on to the actual slumber party. I had envisioned her friends coming over and quietly watching the movies we picked out.  Maybe staying up till midnight talking (quietly) and that would be that.
Nope. 
The girls were CRAZY!  They screamed and ran around for what seemed like forever.  In fact, my ears were ringing last night from the decibal level in our house.  I don't think I've ever experienced anything like it except for maybe at a concert. 
We did manage to play the games and do the activities we had planned out, but it was all such a whirlwind of activity and screaming! 

Guess what time they went to sleep?  5 a.m.  Guess what time I went to sleep? 4 a.m.    

Happy Birthday, Briana!
