We actually managed to truly surprise Stephanie with the birthday party! Here are the girls posing for a picture while waiting for Stephanie to arrive. When we heard the garage door opening, they then, like all giggling girls, hid behind the couch and yelled Surprise!
The girls played 'Apples to Apples' before we brought out the cake...and Stephanie in one blow took care of all the candles.
The girls know that Stephanie likes to draw...she received two different art pads and pencil sets, in different sizes.
It was an emotional day for me as in the morning I had no idea if it would actually work out. We had only known of two girls that could come, so I sent email to Crystal asking if Sophia could come too...and she did, with a friend, Andrea...and we loved having them! Also, at the last minute, two others RSVP, so things were really working out well.
Me? I was up at 4:30 in the morning, baked the cake and then hid it. And in order to hide the scent of the cake, proceeded to bake some cookies...Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies.
This is the first party I have given where I didn't have to spend a penny. The invitations, the baking and drink supplies were already in house! What more do you need???
Another nice birthday present??? Steve has an interview scheduled for Wednesday! Let's pray that things work out there too!
