BIRTHDAY PARTY WAS A HIT!

For the record, I just want to say that I'm pooped out!

But, it was all worth it in the end!

My daughter had her best buds there, and they all had so much fun together! They all got to the hotel on time, and they wanted to go swimming right away. It was perfect because there was hardly anyone there at the time so they practically had the pool to themselves!

Here they all are! Actually, we were waiting for one more girl to arrive, and she finally showed up when they went down to the pool. There's my girl, second to the right!

Here is the sugary snack table! This wasn't even all of it! I also had those humongous plastic pixie sticks for the girls, and soda! Surprisingly, it didn't make them any more hyper than they already are.

I put her poster board (which they all signed), two bowls of chips, and cupcakes that I made on one of the end tables in the front room.

AND OH MY GOSH! I asked one of my friends to make her a white fondant cake so I could decorate it with the custom cookies I ordered from Amanda! Isn't it awesome???? The red stars spell out "Miranda."

I decorated the other end table with Miranda's cake, cookies, and goodie bags that she gave to all her friends. Everything is so coordinated! Love it!

This was supposed to be the original topper on her cake, but as you can see, it cracked down the middle. My friend tried to fix it, but we decided to just add the other cookies. Isn't that just awesome????

Here was the first swim of the afternoon!

Here is a view from our room on the 3rd floor.

Night swim, after dinner! I was so thankful because my husband brought our dinner to us. I didn't have to go out and get it myself. The request was Chinese food, and it was yummy!

I wanted to take a fun picture of the girls showing the necklaces that Miranda picked out for them, from Tilly's. And the couch they're sitting on turned into bed. THEY ALL managed to sleep on there together!

And I had this room ALL TO MYSELF!! It was like I was on vacation!! Those silly girls took off the comforters because one of them watched a show about how those things are so dirty! LOL

Another view! This was actually in the morning (7am'ish) after the girls took another 6AM swim!


Gotta love the breakfast buffet!!


Mmm.mmm!

Here is Sarah & Miranda eating breakfast. It was so early still. And yes, that is Veronica in the middle there. My husband asked if she could stay the night with us because he had to be at church by 7:15 in the morning. I got to cuddle with my snuggle bug that night!

I have tons of more pictures, but then it would be a huge post! The girls also played a couple of games. I made up a game called "Who Knows Miranda Best," and and they also played freeze dance. That was hilarious! And, I also bought two prizes for whoever won those games.

I tell ya, this was such a fun thing to do for the girls. Everything we needed to entertain them was there. If I was to take her and her friends out to dinner somewhere, it would be the same amount as the hotel room. I highly recommend doing this for your teens!! They will love it!
