Halle Turns 7!

So Halle wanted to have an American Idol Birthday Party last year, but since life got complicated around her Birthday, we decided to wait and have it this year. Here's a picture of her invitations. I think they turned out pretty cute!We had 11 girls at the party. We divided them in groups of 4 and taught them a song and they made up a dance to go with it. Then they performed it for all of us. I was really impressed with how brave they all were. Only one little girl didn't want to do it, but warmed up a little and sang the song with her group. We also played a musical microphone game. This is when you pass the microphone and when the music stops, the person holding the microphone has to sing her favorite song. The girls loved this and they would all sing along if they knew the words. We have such a cute bunch of girls in our neighborhood. All but two of the party attendees were born in the same year! There are so many girls in our neighborhood, we couldn't even consider inviting friends from school and dance.What picture taking session would be complete without a goofy-faced picture!?!?

Halle loved all the attention and all the presents!! I don't know how I get myself into throwing Birthday parties and inviting sooo many kids, but to see the excitment in my childrens' eyes, makes it all worth it in the end!!

THanks for posting the videos of the party. That was too funny. Brynnley had a blast at the party and it looks like Halle had a great B-day. But what is the deal with no one else dressing like a pop star? Brynn looks a little out of place in her rock star get up. Oh well she obviously didn't mind. I can't believe they are 7 already.
