Paige's birthday

Paige got to extend her birthday this year. We did a family birthday on her actual birthday and then she had a party with her friends. Paige's birthday was on a Wed. so I went to the school the night before and decorated her locker. I decided to make sure it would be a special day from the start.

We let the kids pick where they want to eat for their birthday. Paige's choice for the past several years has been Cracker Barrel. This is at dinner with a birthday phone call from family.


One of the rites of passage into teenagerhood, as a girl, is to get to wear make up. Personally I think it's way overrated, but I remember it's importance at the time. Paige was just as excited to get to this point. Our emphasis is on a light natural look.

Paige had a spa/slumber party the weekend after her birthday with a few friends. We played a few games, got pampered and watched movies. A fun time for all of them.
One of the games was blindfolded make-up. It's pretty hilarious seeing the process & outcome.


The girls soaking their feet as part of their pedi. Thank goodness for a big tub.



As part of the facial they had face masks complete with soothing cucumbers for the eyes. They thought that was pretty funny. We played relaxing music and they chilled for a bit. Not too often can you get a group of girls this age to lay quiet.

They each made bath salts to take home as part of their goodies.
