Jillian's 11th birthday

Jillian found a great idea for a haunted hotel birthday this year in one of her magazines and I tried my best to deliver. We decorated the great room in spider webs, Halloween lights, creepy fabric and other Halloween decor. For food we served mummies in a blanket, apples with caramel dip, jackolantern veggies, a haunted house cake, and ghastly punch with an icy hand. We had more fun actually planning than anything. It made for some fun girl time. We had the guests dress in Halloween costumes as well. Everyone had a great time and the kids spent most of their time jumping on the trampoline. I have learned not to plan to many organized games with this crew since they prefer making their own fun. I wonder how many more cute little theme parties I will get to plan for her.It seems like I just turned around and ten years have passed! She is already wanting grown up gifts. This year was an iPod. She even paid for part with her saved money and had us give her cash to pay for the rest.  I think I prefer buying little toys and games! Glad she had a great day! She deserves it!
