Ashley's 10th Birthday Party

Ashley is 10, she is growing so fast!

The theme for Ashley's birthday party this year was "Glow-in-the-Dark". It was an overnight sleepover so we could play games after it got dark.

Ashley's happy birthday sign even glowed in the dark! It was so cool!

Before dinner the kids played on Gpa Stone's swings in the front yard.

Mike BBQ'd some delicious cheeseburgers for dinner

Ashley got so embarrassed when everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to her

Ashley didn't want a regular cake for her birthday she wanted "Faux Sushi". They were so yummy! I even made candy wasabe and ginger to go with their dessert sushi.

Ash got so many great presents from her friends

Ash wanted her friends to take home a souvenir from her party so we bought hats that they decorated with glow-in-the-dark puff paint. They all turned out very different. Some dried pretty quickly and some took over 24hours!

Can you see us??? The kids played tons of games with their glow-in-the-dark sticks, bracelets, necklaces, balls, etc. The girls even had flashing "braids" that they put in their hair to add to the sparkle! We went through at least $40 worth of glow toys and it was awesome!

I got the kids to stand in a line and wave their glow sticks around for a picture.

The kids came inside for movies. We watched "Kung Fu Panda 2" (thanks- you know who you are!) and Gnomeo and Juliet.

CJ was the 1st one to fall asleep. He helped set up the party and played really hard during the party, he was exhausted. He didn't even wake up when the other kids were yelling and bouncing around using their glow sticks as light sabers (they were sticks that were 14" long and 3/4" wide, they made perfect looking light sabers!)

In the morning Uncle Jeff flipped pancakes onto their plates for breakfast.

All the kids were exhausted the next morning but surprisingly cheerful!

Here are some of the kids in thier hats.

Alexsis (from school), Ashley, CJ, Cousin Kade, Cousin Addy, Makayla (from church), Cousin Adidan, & Cousin Auston

CJ only wanted a single football on his hat

Ashley designed her hats with dashes and dots.

Thank you everyone who came to the party and everyone that helped out! The party was fantastic! Ashley had a great time!
