Aniya is 5

June 14th Aniya turned 5!!! I cant believe it has been that long!! 

Here she is 5 years old!!

She wanted to do a sleepover... So I agreed!

We invited a few friends (cousins) there was 5 girls all together.

The dads took the boys and went to Uncle Lorenzo's house to watch the Basketball game, so the girls could have all the attention.

I had a few things planned for the girls to do....

We made visors (aniya has been wanting a visor for a while, dont know why) so we decorated them with puffy paint.. nothing too fancy most of the girls just put big globs of paint everywhere... so big most didnt even dry over night  lol

I didnt get enough visors so Aubrey painted a paper plate... and she was very proud of her paper plate!

What nice little sharers!!

I didnt really plan on this activity it just sorta happened... I didnt frost the cupcakes cause they were too hot so when the girls started asking for cupcakes I got the stuff out to frost it then, they said "oh can we do it" so there ya go... it was pretty fun though...

So busy they didnt want to look up for a pic..

we had chocolate frosting and strawberry frosting and little princess sprinkles..

Hannah got creative with her cupcake and put the peanut M&M's on it... funny thing... they asked for cupcakes but after decorating 3 or 4 no one ate any...

I guess these cupcakes just looked too good to eat!!!!

Yumm.....

While I didnt have an activity planned for every moment... 

the girls entertained themselves, they played outside and made a little tent...

I think one of Aniya's favorite parts was when the girls were all chanting "Birthday Girl! Birthday Girl!" she liked being special.

Another activity I thought was really cute was to decorate pillow cases... I thought the girls would go crazy and draw all over and it would take up some time... well

Maybe they were tired or maybe that wasnt a good one for five year old... so most of them scribbled and wrote  a few little pictures and that was it.... hahaha oh well...

The girls decorating there pillow cases... they were pretty much done after this picture. (see how white they still are!)

Settling down, with popcorn and watching High School Musical

The girls were really good... I was praying no one cried and had to go home... One cried but she decided to stay...yay... they all stayed on the blanket and watched the movie. One by one they fell asleep, except for one... she was wide awake... and I couldnt just go to bed (cause she was the one who "missed her mommy") so I sat on the couch waiting for her to fall asleep and I ended up falling asleep on the couch with Isley... I finally woke up a little later and she was asleep.. so I went to my room...

Later on....Here comes Aniya to sleep in my room and Makai, Natalie got up too, to to go sleep with her mom.. so there wasnt too many girls left.

I totally forgot to sing Happy Birthday to Aniya after I got all side tracked with the decorating of the cupcakes so we sang to her in the morning at breakfast...No, the cupcake was not for breakfast.. it was pancakes... you see what she is putting her hair in!

In the morning I was all by myself.. with 9 kids but it wasnt bad at all.... Everything ran really smoothly.

The night before we also forgot the open her presents.. so we did that after breakfast..

We had one more activity to do

we made necklaces and bracelets... I think the girls enjoyed this activity the most we did this for a long time... their necklaces looked really cute!!! I even wanted to make one... but as you can see Isley had other ideas 

All in all I think it turned out really good for our first slumber party... 

Aniya keeos telling me even still that "that was the best party ever!) so as long as she thinks so I guess the party was a success!!

Happy Birthday Aniya Papiya You are getting so big, such a good helper and a nice girl.. we love you, and I cant wait to see what the future holds for you.
