Katie's Birthday Party

We are having Katie's 11th Birthday Party tonight, because we'll be busy next weekend with the school's all-day crop.  Can you believe that Katie wants to volunteer there all day, on her birthday?

Katie invited two friends over for a sleepover, and planned a "pool party" (aka billiards)!

Look how awesome our cupcakes turned out!!

We added a red tablecloth (to match our pool table's felt), a white cue ball cupcake, a rack, and a cue stick to complete the cupcakes!

 Katie picked out a dinner of pesto pasta with chicken, and green beans.  Her friends were skeptical at first, but then loved it!

Singing to Katie.

Can you believe she's almost 11??!!

Opening presents

Photobomb!!!

Girls playing the numbers game

The three of them are all snuggled in down in the basement, on couches and aerobeds.  I brought down lots of popcorn, and they're watching a movie (Bridge to Terabithia).  I don't know when they'll finally go to bed, but I'm getting tired!

Tomorrow, all three girls (plus the friend in pink) are singing in the children's choir at our11am mass.  Everyone's very excited, especially Katie, who has a solo again!  She will lead the entire church in the Alleluia replacement: "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."
