12 Years Old!

 Grace is 12! Such an exciting birthday, she gets to be in young women now and she's been looking forward to that for awhile now!  We planned a fun party and invited all the beehives. We ended up with 8 girls, which is a perfect party number.

Grace wanted pizza and an ice cream bar.  She wanted to play games and watch a movie, so that's what we did. 

We played balloon blast, silly smash, "right, left, eat", dicecapades and wink assassin.

The girls hung out in Grace's room. Watched "9 Lives" and ate and played a lot. 

Happy Birthday Gracie!!

 Camille, Brynn, Mia (hiding behind B), Lilly, Grace, Ofelia, Makayla and Charlotte.

balloon blast: the girls put candy in a balloon (laffy taffy) and then blew it up and tied it to their ankles.  When everyone was ready they popped each other's balloons and took the candy.  The one with the last intact balloon was the "winner.

silly smash: we got ice cream cones and put them on the counter upside down.  Hiding in each one was either a piece of candy or a slip of paper with a silly task on it.  The girls took turns smashing one cone and either got to eat the candy or do the task. It was stuff like sing the abc's backwards or win three thumb wars.

right left eat: a game where each girl has 3 pieces of candy.  They roll a dice and if the dice says 1 they pass a piece to the rt, if it says 2 a piece to the left, 3 they eat a piece, 4-6 they put a piece in "save pile". The person with the last piece available for play is the winner, and they ate the candy so win win:)

wink assassin is like "mafia" and dicecapades is a favorite board game.
